Goat Cheese Quiche

Coco's been at it again, whisking up a Quiche au Chevre that I used to make often in France, but had sort of forgotten back here in California. But with all the wonderful local cheeses, you can't go wrong. And just because that wasn't challenging enough, she roasted fresh beets for a salad with walnuts, walnut oil, and champagne vinegar. Is there anything she can't do?

Ingredients
1 prepared refrigerated pie crust
3 oz diced prosciutto
1 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 tbsp flour
4 oz fresh goat cheese
2 zucchini
parsley, chives, finely chopped
salt, pepper, nutmeg
butter

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Butter the tart pan and place the crust in the pan, prick the crust bottom with a fork. Keep cold. Wash the zucchini, cut in quarters lengthwise, then thinly slice. Beat the eggs, then add the cream, flour, salt and pepper to taste, and a pinch of nutmeg. Break up the goat cheese with a fork and incorporate, then add the zucchini and diced prosciutto. Fill the pie crust, sprinkle with parsley and chives. Bake for 30 minutes, or until set and golden brown.
