Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 small zucchinis, grated (or 2 large zucchinis)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Hand grate the zucchini or use your grating attachment on your food processor.
- Squeeze the excess water out of zucchini using a cheesecloth or clean, thin dishtowel. This is a super important step to squeeze as much water out as possible.
- Put the oil in a skillet over high heat.
- Cook zucchini for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until they start to brown.
- Add the shallots and herbs to the pan. Stir to combine and then remove from the heat.
- Put the ricotta, eggs, and cream in a large bowl and add the zucchini mixture. Mix well.
- Transfer to baking dish (I used a pie/quiche dish) and bake for 30-35 minutes until top is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
- Top with additional herbs for fun 🙂
