Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture before shredding to prevent a soggy quiche. If you don't have buttermilk flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour mixed with a bit of baking powder. Adding herbs like fresh basil or thyme can enhance the flavor. Consider incorporating T.V. Mix for a twist on the traditional recipe.
