This was really a good recipe, but I have to remove the green skin on the zucchini since my husband cannot have it...The saying is "Real men don't like quiche", but this is not quiche and my husband loved it....I thought it was good myself and will make it again.Thank you!

This was great! I only had cheddar on hand and that worked as well. Thank you! I will definitely make this side dish again.

I try to serve meatless meals several times a week. This made an excellent supper for just my husband and I. I served it with roast vegetables and a green salad. Wonderful!
