Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini for the best flavor. If using frozen zucchini, thaw completely and squeeze out excess water.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough quiche.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before cutting into it. This will help it set and prevent it from falling apart.
