Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 large eggs

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. Spread half of the sautéed zucchini mixture onto the pie crust.
7. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese over the zucchini mixture.
8. Repeat another layer with the remaining zucchini mixture, bacon, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the pie.
10. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden.
11. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
12. Serve warm or at room temperature.
13. Enjoy!
