The savory pie with ham and zucchini is a main course I like to call a fridge-cleaner dish: the recipe is created and takes shape based on what is available. The result is always perfect because in savory pies, what you put in is what you get! Flavorful, tasty, simple, and quick to make, the savory pie with ham and zucchini is delicious. To prepare it, I used ready-made puff pastry. I had found something new at the supermarket: light puff pastry. I wanted to try it. I like to test new things. We liked it a lot. But found it once and then never again. Too bad. I would have bought it again for sure. This recipe also works well with classic puff pastry or homemade puff pastry. But the light version was good. Oh well. If you spot it, let me know!

Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry (light)
- 5.6 oz emmental (shredded)
- 5.3 oz cooked ham
- 5 eggs
- 1 zucchini (grated)
- to taste salt
Tools
- 1 Grater coarse
- 1 Mold tart pan 10 inches
Steps
Wash the zucchini, dry it, remove the ends, and grate it with a coarse grater. Also grate the emmental with the coarse grater. I found pre-shredded emmental at the supermarket: if you find it, it’s definitely very convenient and saves a step. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt with a whisk. Line a 10-inch tart pan with the puff pastry and prick it with a fork. Distribute the slices of cooked ham covering the entire base well, distribute the grated emmental and zucchini leveling them well, and then distribute the beaten egg mixture. Fold the edge of the puff pastry creating a small rim all around and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 20/25 minutes.
