  1. Thank you. Very good and adaptable.5 stars

  2. I have a lot of fresh, shredded zucchini that I will need to freeze. If I thaw, drain and squeeze, can I layer it into the recipe?

  3. Very good. I eliminated the crust and added extra mozzarella for a great Keto side dish. Thank you.5 stars

  4. I made this dish last night for me and my daughter and it was scrumptious! We both decided that the next time I will add another slice of bacon and some more flavorful cheese like cheddar. Other than that, it rocks!!Thank You Southern LadyI took pictures, but I guess I can’t post them ☺️5 stars

    1. YAY!! I’m so glad you made this and loved it! It’s such a versatile dish and one you can easily make your own.

  5. Hi! Really want to make this recipe but don’t have bacon?? Can I use bacon bits and if so, how much do I need?? Thanks

  6. This is really good! The bacon and zucchini are wonderful together. My family really liked it.5 stars

  7. Dottie Newkirk says:

    Hoping to make this today and was wondering what you do with the cooked bacon. I’m “guessing” that you crumble it and add it when you add the zucchini mixture to the egg mixture.

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      Yes, just add it when you add the zucchini mixture.

  8. This was fantastic! We have a lot of zucchini this year and as soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to make it. Followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. Definitely a keeper!5 stars
