Tips and Variations
For a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free pie crust or go crustless by greasing the pie dish well and pouring the mixture directly into it. Feel free to swap zucchini with bell peppers or mushrooms for a different flavor profile. Adding a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture can also enhance the flavor beautifully.
