Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 medium zucchini, shredded
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup Gruyere or fontina cheese, grated
  • ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup crumbled bacon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a 3-inch round pastry cutter, cut pie crust into 12 circles. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with pastry rounds. Press the sides gently to evenly cover each cup with dough.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until combined. Spoon into the pastry-lined muffin cups.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and egg is cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
