ZUCCHINI TART 
1 sheet prepared pie dough
1 zucchini (about 1/2 lb.) or 1 1/2 c. chopped broccoli
Salt & pepper
3 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. heavy cream
Pinch of nutmeg
8 oz. Cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fit dough into 9 inch tart pan or pie plate. Line shell by placing a double thickness of aluminum foil against dough. Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake until edges are brown, 10-15 minutes. Grate zucchini. Toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Beat eggs to mix and stir in milk, cream, nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Drain zucchini and blot with towel to remove excess moisture. Grate cheese and sprinkle half of it in tart shell. Cover with zucchini. Pour in milk and cream mixture and top with remaining cheese. Bake until puffed and golden, 35-40 minutes. Serve warm or cool.
