What You'll Need

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups coarsely shredded yellow summer squash
  • 1 cup coarsely shredded zucchini
  • 1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
     
  2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs and flour until smooth. Add yellow squash, zucchini, 1/4 cup olives, and garlic salt; mix well. Spread mixture in pan.
     
  3. Bake in center of oven just until set, about 10 minutes.
     
  4. In a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and basil; sprinkle over custard. Top evenly with tomato slices, remaining olives, onion slices, and Monterey Jack cheese.
