The savory pie with zucchini and ham is a versatile recipe perfect for any occasion: from a quick lunch to a dinner with friends, even for an outdoor picnic. Soft, flavorful and very easy to prepare, it’s a great fridge-cleaning idea that wins everyone over at the first bite. Zucchini add freshness, ham gives flavor and with a puff pastry base it will be ready in minutes!
I chose to cook it in the microwave, but an air fryer or a conventional oven also work well.

- to taste mozzarella for pizza
- to taste oil and salt
Tools

Steps
Unroll the puff pastry disc on the crisp plate, taking care not to remove the parchment paper.
Slice the zucchini with the mandoline and cover the base of the puff pastry.
Season with salt, drizzle with a little oil, and add the ham.
Add a few slices of provola on top of the ham.
Continue with another layer of zucchini, season with salt or a drizzle of oil, and finish with plenty of shredded pizza mozzarella.
Cook in the microwave for 15 minutes using the crisp function. Alternatively, in a regular baking dish bake in the oven at 392°F for about 30 minutes.
