Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch deep glass pie dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

In a blender, combine the milk, beaten eggs, baking mix, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3
Add the roughly chopped parsley to the blender and blend for just a few seconds to incorporate without chopping finely.
4
Spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on the bottom of the greased pie plate. Layer the diced zucchini, broccoli florets, and sliced scallions over the cheese.
5
Carefully pour the blended egg mixture over the layered vegetables, making sure everything is covered evenly.
6
Finish by arranging the halved cherry tomatoes on top and drizzling the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the mixture.
7
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for approximately 55-65 minutes or until the quiche is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing into wedges. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
