Zucchini Pie

Zucchini Pie ~ Fresh from the Oven

This recipe is a great use for garden zucchini.  A bread-like quiche/casserole that is perfect as a main course or side dish.  While my favorite recipe for zucchini is my recipe for "Zuni Cafe" Pickles...This is a great "go-to" recipe as well.  I came across the original recipe for this pie over at "The Seasoned Mom" but, added a bit more in the area of spices... It's truly a tasty dish ~Enjoy! Diane
