One of my co-workers gave me this recipe years ago, and now it's a staple. We just don't feel like it's summer until we've eaten some. We usually eat it for dinner, but it's equally good for breakfast or brunch.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Saute zucchini, onions and garlic in olive oil until soft. Stir in parsley, herbes de provence, salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Beat the eggs and then add the cheese to the beaten eggs. Pour into the veggie pot and combine.
- Spread dijon mustard on bottom of pie crust. Add zucchini mixture to crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Select medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
- Shred the zucchini properly: Use a box grater to shred the zucchini into long, thin strands. This will help the zucchini cook evenly and prevent it from becoming watery.
- Press the zucchini: After shredding the zucchini, place it in a colander and sprinkle it with salt. Let the zucchini sit for 10 minutes, then press it firmly to remove excess moisture. This will help prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help the pie cook evenly and prevent it from sticking. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet.
- Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini pie is best when the zucchini is tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooking the zucchini will make it mushy.
Conclusion:
Zucchini pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect zucchini pie every time.
