Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 medium Zucchini Adds moisture and bulk; summer squash can be used for a slightly different flavor.
  • 2 medium Bell Peppers Offers sweetness and crunch; feel free to mix colors.
  • 1 medium Onion Essential for a savory base; substitute shallots for a sweeter touch.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor; omit if you prefer a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Spinach Boosts nutrients and color; kale can be a hearty alternative.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Provides creamy richness; swap for dairy-free cheese for a vegan casserole.
  • 3 large Eggs Binds the casserole beautifully; consider flax eggs as a vegan substitute.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Works as a low-carb thickener; coconut flour can be used in smaller amounts.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Herbs (Oregano & Basil) Infuses flavor; fresh herbs can elevate the taste.
For Optional Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Sprinkle on top for added flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Use gluten-free options for added crunch.
