This was really good. I totally enjoyed it. It was simple to make, i threw it together in under 5 minutes. It reminds me of the impossible Bisquick quiches, was really rich and eggy. I did increase the garlic to 2 cloves, added about 1/2 cup grated mozzarella and subsitituted fresh basil for the dried herbs. Even my zucchini hating husband admitted that he enjoyed it! Thanks for a great, easy recipe Pat!

I've used this recipe several times and really loved it until I looked more closely at the Nutrition Facts. Bisquick baking mix unfortunately has 1.5g of Trans Fat and the company has no intention of taking this out according to their Customer Service line. This made me question all the nutrition information and feel it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

This was pretty good, a little bland. The texture is nice, fluffy without being eggy.
