3. Step 3: Add the cooked sausage mixture and 2 grated medium zucchinis (squeeze out excess moisture) to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
4. Step 4: Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the slice is set in the middle and golden brown on top. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
