Ingredients
  

1 large zucchini, shredded (approximately 1 1/2 cups)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray, for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's heating, prepare your mini muffin tin by greasing it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to ensure the quiche bites will easily release after baking.

    Prepare the zucchini: To prevent soggy quiche bites, place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as you can. Set the drained zucchini aside.

      Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack in the 4 eggs and pour in the whole milk. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

        Add the dry ingredients: Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you desire a bit of heat) into the egg mixture. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.

          Combine zucchini and cheese: Gently fold the drained zucchini, chopped onion, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Ensure everything is evenly distributed so each quiche bite is packed with flavor.

            Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the prepared quiche mixture into the greased mini muffin tin. Fill each cup approximately three-quarters of the way full. This allows enough space for the bites to puff up during baking without overflowing.

              Bake: Carefully place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the quiche bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and garnish: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the quiche bites cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Use a small spoon or a butter knife to gently lift them out. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.

                  Serve warm: These delightful mini quiche bites can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They make an excellent appetizer for gatherings, a festive addition to brunch, or a handy snack for any time of the day!
