Recipe Notes
Do Ahead or Delegate: Slice the zucchini, dice the onion, peel the garlic, combine the dry seasonings, beat and refrigerate the eggs, shred the cheese if necessary and refrigerate, or fully prepare and refrigerate or freeze the pie.
Scramble Flavor Booster: Use Swiss, Gruyere, or another sharp cheese, rather than the mozzarella.
