• 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced or grated (about 2 cups)

• 1 clove garlic, minced

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.
