Notes

Adapted from the Crustless Zucchini and Turnip Quiche recipe by Vivica Menegaz featured in The Ultimate Paleo Cookbook.
Add in some shredded cheese if you allow dairy on your diet. Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella are great options.
Sprinkle in nutritional yeast to give a cheesy taste without any cheese.
Garnish the top with chopped green onions or tomato slices.
