Directions

Discover the delicious (POPCORN) difference of using Corn Thins slices to make the base of this quiche.

Preheat a fan forced oven to 170ºC.

To make the crust, blitz Corn Thins slices in a food processor to a crumb consistency. Add remaining crust ingredients and pulse until combined. Pour into a 25cm round, loose bottom tart tin, pressing the mixture into the sides and base. Bake for 15 mins or until light golden, set aside.

Put grated zucchini into a bowl, add 1 tsp sea salt and toss to coat. Allow to stand for 5 mins, then squeeze out any excess liquid (discard liquid). Heat oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add zucchini and garlic and saute 5-8 mins until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Whisk together eggs, cream, lemon zest and chilli flakes then stir through ricotta, feta, basil and cooled zucchini. Pour over the base and return to the oven for 30-35 mins until golden and set. Allow to cool slightly then garnish with extra basil before serving.
