Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, and olive oil.

Mix in the cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in any fresh herbs if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
