Alternative Pie Crust
« on: September 06, 2014, 02:18:05 am »
I found this posting from KarenH amongst a recipe on here and thought it deserved a spot of it's own.

Here is the idea I saw for a pie crust, designed for individual pies in ramekins:

1 small zucchini, grated
1 egg, whisked
50g grated light mozzarella
50g grated parmesan

Preheat oven to 180oC.  Combine all ingredients in a bowl.  Line a baking tray with baking paper.  Spread mixture in 4 circles roughly the shape and size of a pie lid.  Bake for 20 mins or until the zucchini crust starts to change colour.  Remove from oven and leave on baking tray until cool. 

When your pies are ready, top each ramekin with a zucchini crust "lid".  Sprinkle with more parmesan cheese and bake a further 10-12 minutes.

Thanks Judy. It looks nice.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
