Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Quarter the zucchini into thin slices and dice the bell pepper. Toss and combine the vegetables evenly in the base of a 2QT glass baking dish.
    2.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients (eggs, milk, spices, etc.) except for the cheese. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the baking dish. Gently shake the dish until the vegetables are well-distributed within the egg mixture. Arrange the shredded cheese uniformly over the top of the casserole.
    3.
    Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles for serving.
