Zucchini Pie

Marjoram, with its hint of balsam, complements mild yellow and green summer squash in this simple crustless zucchini pie. It is topped by tomato slices and low-fat feta cheese, a lean choice. If yellow zucchini are unavailable, use all green zucchini.<P>Return to Healthy Greek Menu.

    I found with fresh dill that it wasn't overpowering and more hardly noticable... overall my daughter and I loved it. I did have to cook it for a bit longer then stated though.

    This is so yummy and a great way to use tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and herbs from the garden all at once! I didn't have any marjoram, but used basil and chives and it was delicious! I loved that it used egg whites to cut down on cholesterol and fat.
