These Healthy Crustless Zucchini Basil Quiche Muffins are a quick, easy, and delicious solution for busy mornings or light meals. Made with simple ingredients, they are naturally low-carb, gluten-free, and packed with protein and veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 medium zucchini (about 1 ½ cups grated)
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, finely chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup milk (any kind)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze tightly to remove as much liquid as possible.
  3. Stack basil leaves, roll tightly, and slice into thin ribbons (chiffonade), then chop finely.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until frothy and well-combined.
  5. Add the squeezed zucchini, chopped basil, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the egg mixture. Fold gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy muffins. Use room temperature eggs for best texture. Do not overbake; muffins should be just set and slightly jiggly in the center when removed from oven. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze individually for up to 3 months.
