Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a medium baking dish (about 8x8 inches or similar) with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are tender and any released liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Stir in the chopped zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is just tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, drained pimiento, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the slightly cooled sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.(Optional: For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.)
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- Drain Excess Liquid: If your zucchini or mushrooms release a lot of water during sautéing, drain off the excess liquid before mixing with the eggs to avoid a watery bake.
- Cheese Variations: Try mixing in a little Parmesan or using a blend of cheeses for extra flavor.
- Add Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or basil can be added for a fresh flavor boost.
- Make Ahead: This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated gently in the oven or microwave
