Layered zucchini pie
Description
You can serve the pie from this recipe on its own or as a side to main courses. The bake is tender, juicy, and delicious. Because we use store-bought puff pastry, it won’t take much time or effort, and the result is sure to be excellent. If you like, you can add mushrooms, browned ground meat, or even plain boiled rice to the zucchini—it will be even tastier and more filling. You can serve it with tea or coffee.

Gather the free edges of the dough around in a circle to form a rim, leaving the filling visible. Brush the top with egg yolk and, if desired, sprinkle everything with sesame seeds. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. If the top has browned but the filling is not yet ready, simply cover the top of the pie with foil.
