https://simplifylivelove.com/italian-zucchini-pie/I have frozen these in years with bumper zucchini crops and intend to freeze a couple this week. I freeze them before baking and then just pop them in the oven while they are still frozen and bake for 34-40 minutes.
Yum! Enjoy. This recipe is shared at Life As Mom, Real Food Forager, Simple Lives Thursday and Food Renegade. For more yummy ideas, check out their blogs!
