Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb zucchini (2 medium, peeled and shredded)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup green onions
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  2. Wring out as much water as possible from the shredded zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until well blended.
  4. Whisk in the half and half, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chopped green onions.
  5. Layer half of the zucchini and half of the shredded cheese in the prepared pie plate, then top with the remaining zucchini and cheese.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini and cheese layers.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until lightly browned and the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Notes

- Ensure you squeeze out ALL the moisture from the shredded zucchini for the best texture.
- Use a mix of cheeses for more complex flavor; Gruyere, Swiss, or cheddar work wonderfully.
- Add other finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
