Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  2. Add the butter and dill to the vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in the cooked spinach and set the vegetable mixture aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, flour, cream, oil, salt, pepper, and grated cheddar cheese until smooth.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture and stir gently to combine.
  7. Transfer the mixture to an 8-cup microwave-safe casserole dish if not already in one.
  8. Top with the grated mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with paprika.
  9. Place the dish on a raised rack in the microwave and cook at 70% power for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the center is set.
  10. Let the quiche stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to firm up.
