Zucchini Bites

Super simple and absolutely delicious!

Zucchini Bites

2 cups grated zucchini

1/2 cup grated carrot

1/4 cup grated onion

6 strips bacon, cooked crisp, diced

6 eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 Tbs rendered bacon fat

Sauté vegetables in fat until tender.  

Remove from heat to allow to cool, stir in bacon.  

In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper.  Whisk well, stir in cheese.  

Add cooled vegetables and bacon.  Mix well.

Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with pan spray.  Evenly distribute egg mixture among all 12 muffin cups.  Bake in a preheated 400° oven for approximately 20 minutes until lightly browned and centers are set.  

Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes.  Run a knife along the edge of each muffin cup and remove.  Serves 4 to 6.

To make these as an appetizer you could put this mixture into mini muffin tins and bake for less time.  These save and reheat quite well too.  I also will make this up as a quiche.  Fantastic!
