The zucchini and prosciutto savory pie was created as a dinner saver on a day with little desire to cook. You will need few ingredients, just a puff pastry roll, prosciutto, and zucchini.
I had the puff pastry ready to make another recipe, the prosciutto in chunks in the freezer and the zucchini already cut into strips in the freezer.
I always have zucchini in the freezer ready to put on the pizza when needed. Despite the recipe being made without much effort, I must say it was well received at the table.
Make it too!

Preparation of the Zucchini and Prosciutto Savory Pie
Take the zucchini, wash them, remove the ends, and cut them into strips slightly longer than ½ finger. In a pan, put the extra virgin olive oil with 2 cloves of garlic and let it brown.
Remove the garlic cloves and add the zucchini, cooking over medium-low heat, season with salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, cut the prosciutto into strips and cook them in a pan over low heat for 3-4 minutes.
When the zucchini are cooked but still vibrant, add the prosciutto and cook for another 2-3 minutes… let cool. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and when the zucchini have cooled a bit, add the egg mixture to the zucchini, mix well. Take a baking pan where you will place the puff pastry so that some of it hangs over the edge of the pan.
Pour the zucchini mixture onto the puff pastry base, folding the pastry edges inside the savory pie. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 15 minutes, checking for doneness. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
