In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, and onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme until well combined.

Spread the sautéed zucchini, bell pepper, and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
-
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the pie crust, ensuring that the mixture is evenly distributed.

Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
