Steps:
- Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) over medium high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and zucchini. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook an additional 5 minutes until zucchini is crisp tender. Add tomato sauce, parsley, basil, and oregano. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Whisk until blended. Pour over mixture in skillet. Cook until eggs are set, but still moist on top. Sprinkle cheese on top.
- Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Place skillet under broiler and broil until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Place the pie crust mix into a bowl, and lightly rub the butter and water into the mix until the mixture holds together well enough to form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead several times to make the dough more elastic. Form into a ball again, and cut the ball in half; cut each half into half again (4 pieces); cut each quarter into thirds to make 12 total pieces. Roll the pieces into balls, and set aside.
- Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until light and foamy, about 3 minutes; strain the filling through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
- Press a dough ball into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a prepared muffin cup; repeat for remaining dough pieces. Spoon each crust about 80 percent full of the egg yolk mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown, the filling is set, and the tarts are lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
