ZUCCHINI CUSTARD 
5 c. shredded unpared zucchini, packed (about 1 3/4 lb.)
1 1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz.)
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
1/16 tsp. pepper

Sprinkle zucchini with salt and let stand 1 hour. Drain in colander, pressing out liquid with spoon.

Place zucchini in 8" square glass baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, turning back one corner to allow for escape of steam. Microwave at high setting 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.

Drain zucchini in colander. Dry and grease same baking dish. Combine zucchini, eggs, 1 cup of the cheese, flour, parsley and pepper in bowl; mix well. Pour into prepared dish.

Microwave at medium setting (50 percent power) 6 minutes or until mixture thickens, stirring every 2 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Microwave at medium setting (50 percent powder) 1 minute, or until cheese is melted. Makes 6 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
