  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced or grated (about 2 cups)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 large eggs

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Assemble Quiche
    • Spread the cooked zucchini mixture evenly in the greased dish.
    • Pour the egg mixture over top.

🔑 Notes & Tips

  • For a firmer texture, squeeze excess water from grated zucchini before sautéing.
  • Use Roma or heirloom tomatoes for less moisture and better flavor.
  • Great served warm or chilled — perfect for meal prep.
