- Place zucchini and onion slices in an 8" square dish...or a quiche pan.

- In large bowl, mix together eggs, cheese, pimiento, salt and pepper.
- Add zucchini and onions, stirring well.

*I actually used the pimento called for in the recipe this time...but have used diced red, orange or yellow bell peppers instead...blanching them with the zucchini and onions. A dash of cayenne pepper adds a little zip as well.
