This Vegetarian Zucchini Corn Feta Quiche is filled with a rich custard base, garden zucchini, fresh corn, and feta cheese.
Summer has officially ended (yay!)
But around here it’s still corn season.
The tail end of corn season, but corn season nonetheless.
So I’m throwing it into as many soups as I can.
And in this case a Vegetarian Zucchini Corn Feta Quiche.
Especially since they are running about $.10 a piece at the local farms.
Eventually we get to the point where they just put it out in a giant cart and a sign that says free corn.
Though not as much anymore as finally our county gave the okay for farms to donate food to the food bank.
As well as local people who grow stuff in their garden and just have too much.
Love me some zucchini and corn together and they go great together in this quiche.
While technically I give measurements just use your own judgement as to how much to throw in there.
As you can see by the photos…I had A LOT of corn to use up. 🙂
I used feta cheese in my recipe but thought about goat cheese as well.
Either would be good with this quiche.
If you wanting to say goodbye to summer in a proper way this quiche is the way to do it.

Hi Peabody!
10 cents a piece for corn, directly from the farm? That’s a steal! How does the farmer afford that? We pay 75 cents a cob from a local farm or $7.00 a dozen. Grocery stores usually charge less… but it’s not always fresh.
I will be trying this recipe.
Enjoy the weekend!

It’s just end of season corn that they are trying to get rid of is all. These are usually smaller farms around my area.

Tried the recipe on Friday and the consensus was that this quiche is delicious. Definitely a keeper…
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
