To get started, begin by shredding the zucchini in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse several times. Place the zucchini into a steamer over a pot of boiling water and steam for 1-2 minutes. Then, ring out the water using a cheesecloth or hand towel and set aside. Note: Don't skip this step! Otherwise, the toast will be soggy.

Next, whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl and add in steamed zucchini with remaining ingredients. Mix ingredients together and divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into medium-sized bread slices and place onto a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Enjoy your zucchini bread toasted with homemade ghee on top or make yourself a delicious sandwich with fresh veggies, protein, and avocado fillings!
