Delicious Zucchini Biscuit Quiche

I remember when I was a kid, everyone used  "Bisquick" in their recipes . It was easy to bake with and the results were always crispy and tasty.

                                                   

Last year, Bisquick came out with a gluten free version. Although I usually don't use mixes or processed products, I was tempted.

I had been reading gluten free bloggers who posted Bisquick gluten free pizza recipes, Bisquick muffin recipes, pies, etc. The recipes looked so easy and yummy. I just had to try at least once that magic box of nostalgia that is now gluten free.

So, I bought a box of Bisquick and it sat on the shelf and sat and sat. I really didn't know what to do with it. Finally, I got out one of my mother's forty year old cookbooks and sure enough there was a recipe for Zucchini Biscuit Quiche made with what else but Bisquick!

I'm sharing the recipe, and it is really good. I made it for brunch and everyone in my family loved it!  It was easy to make and just as tasty as I remembered, even tastier!

Next time you are looking for something special for brunch, try this recipe. It's easy to make, absolutely delicious and satisfying . .

Here is the recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup biscuit mix ( or DIY Biquick Mix  at Morsels of Life Blog using GF flour)
3 cups zucchini , sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup organic carrots, sliced
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped ( I used red onion)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 large eggs, slightly beaten
seasoning to taste


Instructions:
Lightly mix ( do not beat) the biscuit mix, olive oil, and eggs. Add the sauteed vegetables and then the cheese. Mix again lightly. Put into a 9 inch greased pie pan. Bake at 350 about 35 minutes.
Assemble Ingredients

Lightly saute zucchini, onions, and carrots in olive oil spray  until somewhat soft

Mix Vegetables and Cheese Together

Place cooked vegetables and cheese mixture in a well  greased Pyrex or metal pie plate and cover  the vegetable mixture with the  Bisquick, eggs, and  oil  mixture.
Bake at 350 for  about 40 minutes



                                               Serve by the slice with asparagus and figs


Gluten-free Bisquick ingredients: rice flour, sugar, leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), modified potato starch, salt, xanthan gum.

Because of the aluminum phosphate in the ingredients,  I probably won't buy this mix again . I don't like to use any aluminum products.  ** update- I found a recipe where you can make your own Bisquick Mix - just use gluten free flour and aluminum free baking powder- 

I will make the recipe again, but I'll  try to find a homemade recipe for gluten free biscuit mix. Leave me a comment if you know how to make biscuit mix from scratch.
