Corn and Zucchini Quiche

One of the thousand things I love about summer is the fresh fruits and vegetables. Right now the farmers markets are exploding with zucchinis and ears of corn. In honor to these veggies I’ve created a Corn and Zucchini Quiche, which you can eat hot or cold. Even thou I’m a very proud member of the Slow Food movement, I have to admit I sometimes “cheat”. And today was one of those times. I used Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, instead of making my own. What can I tell you? It’s delicious.

Corn and Zucchini Quiche:

-1 sheet of Pepperidge Farm puff pastry
-1 medium onion, chopped
-4 Tbs olive oil
-1 ½ cups corn
-2 small zucchinis, cubed
-1 cup heavy cream
-2 large eggs
-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-1/4 ts nutmeg
-Salt, to taste
-Pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 380 F. In a large frying pans sauté onions and zucchinis in the olive oil for about 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Mix in corn; turn off the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While mix is cooling down, beat the eggs in a large bowl and add cream, Parmesan cheese and nutmeg.
Roll out puff pastry into a circle and put it on to a 10-inch quiche mold. Add veggies into bowl with cream and eggs; mix well and pour onto puff pastry. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
