Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized zucchini
• 5 large eggs
• 0.5 cups almond flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Stir in the heavy cream, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini, sautéed onion and garlic, and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.

Step 8

Allow the zucchini slice to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before cutting it into squares or slices. Serve warm, or store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
