Guest guest Report post Posted September 21, 2007 I think the sharp cheddar might be a bit too strong! Could cause the aftertaste. I'm happy to hear how much you and the girls enjoyed the recipe. You can add a sliced veg. Italian sausage to it.

I collect recipes and cookbooks but I don't use them much. ;-) Anyway, I decided to make your zucchini pie last night. It's similar to a spinach frittata that I used to make that _one_ of my kids loved, but the other didn't. I had it in the oven last night (it was after dinner, but I figured it would be good for breakfast or lunch today) and the power went out. I don't know how close it was to being done, but I left it in the oven with the door closed. When the power came back on at 12:30am, I checked it and it had cooked to golden brown perfection! Anyway both kids tried it (_very_ tentatively) this morning. The verdict? A success! Both girls said it has a strange aftertaste - can't imagine why, but they really liked it and both had it for breakfast _and_ asked for it in their lunch. I'm glad that it has so many veggies and I used a scant cup of sharp cheddar cheese, rather than a full cup. (I didn't have a mild.) Gruyere would also be fabulous in this which is what my frittata uses. Next time I'll add some greens, like spinach. I can see how you can really play with this. Oh, the only changes I made (besides using sharp cheddar instead of mild) is that I grated the small onion and I used whole wheat flour instead of white. Invisible onion goes over better in this house. :-) Today I'm going to make corn chowder, which one of my kids has been requesting for awhile. Thanks!
