Summer “Squiche”

Jump to..... hide

Happy Meatless Monday! Wow this summer is just flying by isn’t it?! I can’t believe that we are well into July already. When it is this hot out, I like to eat something pretty light for dinner. I am trying to take advantage of the seasonal veggies as well. Today I am bringing you a twist on a recipe I did last fall. I created a crustless quiche made with spaghetti squash filled with zucchini, tomato & feta. It takes a little more time to prepare than my usual recipes but trust me, it’s worth it! I call it “Squiche”.

Please join Tina and I today to link up all of the great Meatless recipes. We hope you will share yours and check out some new ones as well.

 What I really love about this dish is that I can make it for dinner and eat it for breakfast or lunch the next day. It’s full of protein and very filling. My Squiche is vegetarian, low carb, Gluten free & can easily be made Paleo friendly by leaving out the cheese. You can really mix up the veggies based on what is in season. This has become one of my favorite dishes! Hope you enjoy it!

    I love spaghetti squash – I had a baked ziti style spaghetti squash just last week, so good! This is a super creative way to use it, I have to get my hands on another squash! Thanks for the link up.

  3. Tina Muir says

    I LOVE the names you come up with for these recipes, they always make me smile, and they would make my belly happy if I made them! Yummy! And very summery! I am not as cool as you….spaghetti squash is usually cooked in the boring way :p

  4. Kelli says

    This looks really interesting. I enjoy quiche and squash, not creative enough to think of this, though. Will be referencing later after I do my grocery shopping again (we just did zucchini and squash on the grill)

  9. Bri says

    Oh yum… I love quiche (minus the cheese) and have a ton of squash right now to use up… I want to try this!

  10. Jenn says

    Very nice. I love quiche, and I haven’t made it yet this summer. What’s wrong with me???

    Squash and I are not on the best of terms, however. I can handle raw zucchini and yellow squash, but beyond that, it’s a textural thing. There are so many great recipes for spaghetti squash, so I might just have to suck it up and try again.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      I think you should try it again it’s very similar to zucchini. Perhaps if you made it this way the texture would be different? Let me know if you try it

  11. Rachel says

    Wow this looks amazing! I’ve got my weekly menu done except for Thursday. Now I know what I’m making! Thanks for sharing this 🙂

  13. Jamie says

    I love this. I really might go grab these ingredients after work today. I would probably leave out the cheese or use my Diaya products… I love the fun way to incorporate veggies into a summer time dish. I usually find myself missing my daily dose of veggies in the summer because I’m obsessed with all things fruit. Thanks so much for sharing! Have a fabulous day!

  14. Sarah says

    Love this! I can’t wait for our garden to start popping out spaghetti squash. We usually get a lot of them so I have been fighting the urge to buy them when I’m craving it as I know we usually are eating them almost daily when our garden is in full bloom. We just started getting Zucchini and we are getting a lot but not booming to the point where we are trying to give them away like crazy like we have done in past years.

  15. Chaitali says

    Yum! Does it reheat well in the microwave? I know you mentioned eating leftovers the next day and I was just wondering if you ate them cold or warm. This sounds like such a fun meal.

  17. Mary Beth Jackson says

    Beautiful! We love spaghetti squash at our house so I need to jump on this one. This is what I normal quiche looks like when I bake one. Great pics, now I am hunger for lunch! wish you delivered!

  25. Becki S says

    We love to cook with SS in place of regular pasta. This looks very tasty and I like that it kinda looks like a pizza 😉

  30. Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says

    This sounds really delish…but I don’t know how my husband would feel about the spaghetti squash. He loves quiche tho, and last summer I made one with zucchini and summer squash and it was a hit!

  34. Elena says

    This looks delicious and the timing is perfect as my husband and I do our meal planning tonight!

  40. Megan says

    Wow this looks awesome. I have a spaghetti squash and a giant zucchini currently in my fridge, so it looks like I’ll be making this soon! I love finding new spaghetti squash recipes! Thanks for the recipe!

  41. RFC says

    As always, your meatless Monday posts are my favorite! I’m laughing at the word “Squiche”, but I think it looks delicious!

  43. MCM Mama says

    I am not a huge fan of spaghetti squash, but I love quiche! I make it all the time and freeze some foe quick meals. I’ll have to try this recipe.

  45. Akaleistar says

    That “Squiche” looks yummy! I’ve been wanting to find a new recipe for spaghetti squash, and this looks like a winner 🙂

  48. Natalie says

    I am all over the feta cheese and parm in this. So good!
    Bummed I missed Meatless Monday this week, but I had a good excuse 🙂

  50. Patty @ Reach Your Peak says

    I have never tried making quiche but I really need to try making this. When I get home from vacation I am going to try to lead a more vegetarian lifestyle so…time to find recipes!
