Instructions

Combine the potato, granulated onion, granulated garlic, flour, ½ tsp. salt, ⅛ tsp. black pepper and butter to make the crust. Press it into a well-greased 9" pie plate. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.

Remove the crust from oven; reduce heat to 350°F. Add 1/2 cup cheese, sweet corn, onion and zucchini over the crust.

In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs, half & half, ¾ tsp. salt, ⅛ tsp. pepper, thyme and basil; pour it over the filled crust. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until quiche is just set.

Remove from the oven and top with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Place quiche back in oven for 5 minutes more until cheese melts and begins to color. Allow to cool and set for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
