INGREDIENTS

Pie crust
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup olive oil
salt

Filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 zucchini, sliced
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 ounces hard cheese, grated
2 teaspoon fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste

To make the pie crust, mix the flour and salt. Add the olive oil, and mix with a fork until you see fine crumbs. Add about 1/2 cup water or enough to form a firm dough. Let dough sit for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough and put on a pie plate. Pierce dough with a fork and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 -15 minutes.

In the meantime, use a large pan to sautee the onions in the olive oil until golden brown. Add the zucchini and cook for another 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk and dill. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Spoon the sautéed vegetables into the pre-baked pie crust. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and pour the egg mixture into the crust. Bake at 375°F for 40 minutes or until set in the middle and slightly brown on top.
