Zucchini Quiche...made easy!

A new and fresh  BISCUIT MIX...so versatile, that you can make your own homemade BISQUICK. If you live in the U.S. you must be familiar with the famous Bisquick biscuit mix that you can make pancakes, coffee cakes, biscuits, pies, and quiches with? Well there's a solution to making your own mix, without the preservatives, and you can keep the mix in you fridge for weeks...so easy to make all the familiar and delicious things...and extremely handy!
I found my original recipe made with Bisquick which I've been saving since 1992. Instead of the 1 cup of Bisquick, substitute 1 cup of your homemade Biscuit Mix.I already lightened up the recipe, even then; by reducing the oil from 1 cup, down to half a cup!

This is a crustless quiche...or pie, whichever you prefer to call it! It is so easy to make, once you have your Biscuit Mix made. Your family will love it, and thank you for it!





Recipe; for Easy Baking Mix...Mix 5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1 cup of shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Store in airtight container, in your fridge, or a cool dry place. Makes 6 cups.

  6. My hubby uses Bisquick for all his pancakes and waffles, but I have a feeling your homemade mix is much tastier! Love the look of this quiche...so good with the mozz and zucchini :) Hope you're having a nice weekend~

  8. Nálunk nincs Bisquick, de nem is szeretem az ilyen kész dolgokat, mikor olyan pofonegyszerű az elkészítésük házilag is A cukkinis pitéd nagyon hívogató, nálunk már unja a család a cukkinit, mert nekem egyik kedvencem, így mindenbe becsempészem, nekem megunhatatlan:) További szép hétvégét neked:)

  14. I am not familiar with bisquick, never heard of it until now. I love quiche, especially the ones with bacon in it :). I'm sure I'll love the zucchini one too.

  15. I had some stir-fried zucchini for the lunch. This is such a delicious yet very healthy quiche.

  16. I used to make a Bisquik blender pie…Coconut Custard…Yum! This looks delicious and I love the ease of making everything in one bowl! I would love to try your homemade biscuit mix…is that ¼ teaspoon of baking powder? Sounds great, Elizabeth! Have a wonderful week!!

    1. Kathy, thank you for noticing my missing baking powder amount. No, its not 1/4 teaspoon...it is 1/4 cup of baking powder. For 5 cups of all-purpose flour, you need that much!

      Here's a recipe for a lesser amount from a 1994 local newspaper that I saved.
      1 3/4 cups all-purp. flour
      1 Tbsp. baking powder
      1 Tbsp. sugar
      1/2 teaspoon salt
      1/3 cup shortening

      Use the same method for mixing it to a crumblike texture, just line in my recipe, above!

  17. This dish looks delicious and so sunny! Does quiche have a different meaning in the US? In French it means a kind of tart (and some people even say the only quiche is quiche lorraine, the rest should be called tarts), but definitely something with a crust around and filled with some ingredients+savoury custard inside.
    I have never used any cake mix in my life. I think in Europe very few people do it even though such products do exist in shops. It's a great idea to make your own.

    1. Sissi, quiche is QUICHE, ...as in Quiche Lorraine, with a crust. This has to be called quiche, because of the liquidized cream-like ingredients, even though there is no cream added. It is a crust-less quiche, or a 'pie'...but a pie needs crust, as well. You can't call it a tart, because that also needs a crust!

      Bisquick, has been around since the 1930's, maybe even longer, but now that we are aiming to use natural ingredients, you can substitute it buy making your own natural biscuit mix...or 'busquick'

      As for cake mixes, they do help a lot, and here in the U.S. and in Hungary, and in Italy, they DO use it a lot, to combine with their own creativity, just like they use a lot of pudding, and gelatine mixes. It is a great idea to make your own...but sometimes mixes help out a lot for mom's with little children to make yummy cupcakes!...I know that, because I used to make it for my kids when they were little, and it was great appreciated!

    2. Elisabeth, maybe I simply know people in my family and among friends who never use these (or at least they have never confessed using these). The only thing my mum used was a German-style powdered pudding or a fruit jelly, but never a cake mix. Simply because she (and me too) doesn't see the "convenient" side. My mum makes a fruit cake in fifteen or even ten minutes plus baking of course (this is the way I prepare my chocolate cake for example), so we don't see the "convenient" side in mixes.

  18. I've never made a zucchini quiche and doing it with homemade Bisquick makes this even more appetizing. It looks wonderful!

  19. First of all you had me at "quick" and then I got a bonus of your homemade "Bisquick" mix! That is great to make it yourself and you can even make it organic! My mom used to make a quiche like this...brings back memories. We had a zucchini growing in our garden when I was a kid. I remember you had to watch it every minute, because if you turned around the zucchini would be huge!

    This quiche It reminds me of a what they call a slice in New Zealand. I have a cookbook from there when I visited...I haven't pulled out in years...I think I'll do that.

  28. thanks for the wonderful recipe. I made some slight changes since in the pie maker it took only 7 minutes to cook.
    I precooked the zucchini and mixed with the bisquick. I too prepared the bisquick and stored the rest in the freezer..

    1. Wow, Suhaina, I'm so impressed! I would love to see your mini quiche pies. So glad you liked the recipe. Come to think of it, I also sauteed the zucchini and onion first, for a few minutes before combining it with the biscuit mix!
      Hugs,

  33. Kedves Elizabeth, nagyon restellem magam, de végre ideértem hozzád. Ez a pite csodálatos, olyan guszta hogy kedvem lenne most rögtön felfalni. Imádom a cukkinit, és napok óta én is azt készítek. Bepanírozva, és sütőben megsütve, meg csak úgy nassolásként eszegetjük. Puszillak

  34. Hi Elisabeth, Thanks for this zucchini quiche recipe and the homemade Bisquick one - so fantastic!! I will definitely try this out as I have other quiche recipes that call for Bisquick, which I don't always feel good about using - I try to really limit using any prepared foods - too many preservatives and ingrdients I can't pronounce. If only my zucchini plants would produce SOMETHING! I'd make this quiche today - they were really set back by the hailstorm we had two weeks ago and I'm starting from square one with them)
