Tips:

Use a mandoline to thinly slice the zucchini for even cooking.
If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into very thin slices.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Don't overcook the zucchini. It should still be slightly crunchy when you bite into it.
Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
