375 g stracchino
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
70 g parmigiano
to taste chives
salt
pepper
to taste extra virgin olive oil

Tools

Steps for the Zucchini and Stracchino Pie

Wash and dry the zucchinis.
Slice the zucchinis very thinly with the mandoline.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt, chives, grated cheese, and stracchino.
Add half a glass of milk and a pinch of pepper.
Mix very well with a hand whisk.
You should get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
Unroll the pastry onto the baking pan (with its parchment paper. I used a rectangular one, but round is also fine). If using round, 26 cm diameter.
Prick the bottom with the tines of a fork.
Pour the egg and stracchino mixture, then place the sliced zucchinis over the entire surface.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F in ventilated mode for 30/35 minutes until the zucchinis are well browned.
Ready to serve.
Bon appétit.
