Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped zucchini
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 5 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes to drain water.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C). Line pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
3. Bake pastry shell in preheated oven for 5 minutes; remove foil and bake until shell is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer.
4. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green pepper, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and zucchini until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cinnamon; spoon vegetable mixture into crust.
6. Beat eggs in a bowl; stir in milk, Parmesan cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture over vegetables.
7. Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
