Everyone will enjoy this. Especially cheese lovers. I use a full cup of cheddar, 1/2 cup swiss and provolone or mozzarella for the rest. Any combination will do. I cobbled this recipe together from several that I enjoyed.

THREE-CHEESE ZUCCHINI QUICHE (RAPID FAT LOSS)



Three-Cheese Zucchini Quiche (Rapid Fat Loss) image

This is one of the recipes I've developed for eating while on Lyle McDonald's "Rapid Fat Loss" plan. It's a nice vegetarian meal to give you a break from chicken and fish! I cook it in advance for a quick breakfast - it tastes great cold, too. If you're not on RFL you can use real cheese and whole eggs and I bet it would be great!
