Spoon the beef and tomato mix all over your veggie crust, then scatter the rest of mozzarella and cheddar. Toss the chopped peppers on top.

05 -
Bake your veggie crust for 20 minutes until it's starting to set.

Mix zucchini with eggs, parmesan, and half the mozzarella and cheddar in a big bowl. Squish the whole mix evenly into a greased oven dish (about 33 by 23 cm, 3-liter size).
07 -
Crank your oven up to 200°C. Toss zucchini into a strainer, sprinkle with salt, let it sit 10 minutes. Squeeze out extra water really well.
