Zucchini Appetizer

Wonderful appetizer and can even be used as a side dish to your favorite meal. A good way to use up all those zucchini in the garden when the summer get underway! Got this from a neighborhood cookbook.

From July 25, 2013: I used 1/4 c butter and only sauteed zucchini and onions. The spices I mixed into the cheese/egg mixture. Once the vegetable mixture was cooked I just dumped it into the egg/cheese mixture. I baked the empty pie crust for 10 minutes while cooking the vegetables. This was delicious and I served it for dinner. Thanks for sharing!Reply

I made this lika a casserole. Skipped the crust, put the zuccini mixture into a greased 8x8 dish ( I also added about 1 Tablespoon mince garlic just because I love garlic), topped with pepproni, additional mozzeralla cheese, sprinkled parmesan cheese and seasoned bread crumbs over all. Baked as directed. Came out a beautiful golden brown. Just wonderful!! Thank you for this posting.Reply

Well, another winner Glitter. I whipped up two of these tasty little pies for a get-together tonight. I have to say that these are most delicious! I used Parmesan instead of Romano, and added just a little fresh minced garlic with the onions when I was frying them. This is a wonderful zuchinni recipe, definately well worth trying...thanks so much Glitter for another winner...Kitten:)Reply
