This made a nice, light dinner! I shredded the zucchini instead of slicing, felt this was a better texture for the quiche. I used 3 medium zucchini and would probably cut it down to 2. Would recommend a deep dish pie crust, as we had one and the contents still spilled over a little while baking. Good flavor, but overall a bit bland for our tastes. I would also add more cheese, at least double. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT6.
