In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, onion and garlic in butter until tender; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, marjoram and salt. Stir in zucchini mixture and Monterey Jack cheese.
Pour into a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

This is simple & delicious. I have subbed other veggies for the zucchini & onion. The only inaccuracy is that, after cooking this several times, the cooking time is exactly 33 minutes.

This recipe is a long-time family favorite! Although it tastes great when prepared as written, I sometimes like to add ham or bacon.

Very good- didn't have marjoram but it was not missed. Added ham like other reviewers.

Delicious! Made as is w/out marjoram since I didn't have any on hand. I thought this was going to taste bland, but it was so tasty and delicious. The basil is definitely a must!

To be honest this didn't seem like it'd world but it not only worked it knocked it out of the park! I did add one extra egg and took ReldaJ's mushroom idea. I made it about an hour before a breakfast potluck and it was universally loved. Thanks TOH and community!

I have made this lots of time over the years... It's delicious as is, or with some cubed ham added to it... Everyone in my family loves it!

I am a great Zucchini lover, expecially if they are young and tender then you don't need to peel them. I did 2 1/2 cups of zucchini and 1/2 cup fresh musrooms.
