Today friends, I want to share with you a truly special recipe that will save dinner and impress your guests, the ULTRA SOFT ZUCCHINI SAVORY PIE. I wanted a savory pie, but not the usual puff pastry one, something softer. This one immediately fulfilled my wish and was greatly appreciated by my friends who I had over for dinner. That’s why I recommend it. Very easy to make with just a simple hand whisk, just have a good mandolin to cut the zucchini as thin as possible. I filled it with mozzarella fiordilatte and Hungarian salami because that’s what I had at home, but even with scamorza and cooked ham or any cold cut you want to add, I assure you the result is a delicious and soft savory pie. Here is the recipe.
