📖 Instructions

    • Add onion, zucchini, and garlic; sauté 5–7 minutes until softened and liquid evaporates.

    • 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.

    • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly, then layer tomato slices on top.

  5. Bake

    • Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing.

🔑 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.
