Cheesy Zucchini and Egg Pie

I promised quick and easy recipes for July and this one is no exception. Not only is this Cheesy Zucchini and Egg Pie fast but it is incredibly inexpensive. Has anyone else noticed that the grocery is just about giving eggs away?  Today I paid 1.25 for 18 eggs. I plan on making some egg salad and some hard-boiled with them as well. I used a full-fat mozzarella here because that is what I had in the fridge. It worked great but your favorite cheese would work as well. I think a Monterrey jack would be delicious too.

This is one of those dishes you can have for breakfast lunch or dinner. We served it as a light dinner with a simple side salad.  As breakfast, I would probably serve it with some berries or fruit and maybe some bacon. Either way, you choose you can’t go wrong with a 6 ingredient dish!  I hope you enjoy this dish and the rest of the summer.  I am so sad that we only have around 30 days until the kids go back to school until then we will be taking full advantage of the sunshine and extra time we have together and I hope you do the same!
