Mama’s Zucchini Quiche

Every holiday has that nostalgic dish your mom pulls out that becomes synonymous with that chag. It becomes a part of the woven thread of childhood memories, so reminiscent of your youth that one bite takes you back. My mother makes this every year, and it wouldn’t be Shavuos without it!
