ZUCCHINI AND DRIED TOMATOES QUICHE!

Gluten free.

This quiche is one of my favorite quiches ever! It is super rich (but not greasy), super comforting, and easy to make! The chickpea crust is superb, so incredibly crunchy, and very easy to put together.

Enough chitchat! Here is the recipe!

Remove it from the food processor, add it into a previously greased 25-inch mold, add the chickpea crust, freeze it for 15 minutes, then remove it from the freezer and bake it in a 190C preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
