Recipe Introduction


Made this for a spring tea, the best quiche I have ever eaten. It is so creamy and delicious


List of Ingredients




1 unbaked pie pastry (9 inches)
1 pound zucchini, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Dash pepper
Paprika


Recipe



Prick bottom of pastry with a fork. Bake at 425° for 7 minutes in a fancy pie plate.
Reduce heat to 350°.
In a small skillet, saute zucchini in butter until tender; drain. Place half the zucchini in the crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream, eggs, salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder and pepper. Pour into crust. Arrange remaining zucchini slices over top. Don't worry if a little butter is still on zucchini. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Yield: 6-8 servings.
