• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 3 large eggs
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 150 grams ricotta cheese
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece pre-made pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Dice the ham into small cubes.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh dill.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and ricotta cheese until smooth.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.

Step 7

Add the zucchini, ham, and dill to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a pie dish. Press it gently into the dish and trim any excess edges.

Step 9

Brush the pie crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Step 10

Pour the zucchini and ham filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and golden brown on top.
