Zucchini Tart

Yield: 6 servings

1 9" pre-baked pie shell
2 pounds zucchini
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon thyme
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
¾ cup grated Swiss cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Grate the zucchini, sprinkle it with salt and place in a colander to drain for 30 minutes. Over a bowl, squeeze the zucchini by handfuls to remove as much liquid as you can. Save the liquid.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and garlic and cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add the flour and thyme and cook and stir over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved zucchini liquid and cook until thickened. Cool to lukewarm.

In a small bowl beat the egg with the milk. Stir it into the zucchini mixture along with the cheeses. Mix well and pour into the baked pie shell. Bake in a 350 degree oven until puffed and lightly golden, about 35 minutes.
