Zucchini Torte is a recipe created by Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D. and author of Eat Your Way to Happiness.

Ingredients

• 1 slice whole wheat bread, dried
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup egg substitute (equivalent of two eggs)
• ½ cup Horizon Organic Fat-Free Milk plus DHA Omega-3
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped, fresh basil
• 1/8 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 2 medium zucchini, cut into ¼-inch thick rounds
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 medium tomato, sliced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Break bread into several pieces and blend in blender to make crumbs. Place crumbs in a small bowl. Stir in cheese and set aside. In a medium bowl, whip egg substitute with whisk until frothy. Stir in Horizon Organic Fat-Free Milk plus DHA Omega-3, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano; set aside. In a nonstick skillet, melt butter. Add zucchini and sauté over medium heat until tender, about seven minutes, stirring frequently. Arrange sautéed zucchini in an ungreased 10-inch quiche pan or 9-inch piepan. Sprinkle onion and parsley over zucchini, then pour in egg mixture and sprinkle crumb mixture over the top. Add sliced tomato and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon basil. Bake in preheated oven about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middles comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes, then slice into four wedges. Makes four servings.
