This just looks like a recipe that the author wanted to make vegetarian so he removed the bacon or ham. Then he replaced some of the cheese with more milk. I doubt he actually physically made it. I know this is a harsh comment but I'm just a little put-off right now.

The zucchini adds too much moisture, the cup of liquid (milk or half-and-half) dilutes the egg taste and the lack of seasonings all add up to something akin to a poached vegetable bake surrounded by a thin egg mix
