Directions

  1. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over zucchini and let sit for 10 minutes to drain water.

  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C). Line pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

  4. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir onion, green pepper, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and zucchini until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cinnamon, spoon vegetable mixture into crust.

  6. Beat eggs in a bowl, stir in milk, Parmesan cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture over vegetables.

  7. Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
