Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 150 grams ham
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 large eggs
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 150 grams ricotta cheese
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Grate them using a box grater or food processor, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the ham into small cubes.
Finely chop the fresh dill.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and ricotta cheese until smooth.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
Add the zucchini, ham, and dill to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a pie dish. Press it gently into the dish and trim any excess edges.
Brush the pie crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Pour the zucchini and ham filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
