👩‍🍳 Method

Step 1: Prep the veggies.
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
Top and tail the zucchini and slice lengthwise into thin ribbons.

Step 2: Prep the ham.
Cut the ham slices into sections roughly the same width as the zucchini ribbons.

Step 3: Build the quiche.
Lightly grease a pie dish.
Starting from the outside, layer the zucchini and ham slices upright, slightly overlapping, alternating zucchini and ham as you work your way around the dish.
Keep going until you’ve created a rose pattern all the way into the centre.

Step 4: Whisk the eggs.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian herbs.

Step 5: Pour and top.
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the zucchini and ham.
Sprinkle the grated white cheddar over the top.

Step 6: Bake.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until set and beautifully golden on top.
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing, worth the wait.
