Zucchini and Herb Pie
Description
Homemade treats for tea. Minimal ingredients and easy preparation come together to create a very tasty summer zucchini pie. You can enjoy this pie every day! The first dough layer has a texture similar to shortbread, while the topping forms a second dough layer. You can add some eggplant or extra herbs to the filling—this will make the pie even more delicious. Optionally, you can add a little mayonnaise to the topping to make it richer and more filling. Serve with tea or coffee.
