Tips:

Choose fresh zucchini: Select firm and tender zucchini with deep green color and no blemishes. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has a waxy coating.
Grate the zucchini: Use a box grater or a food processor to grate the zucchini. Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated zucchini before using it in the pie.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to evenly distribute heat and prevent the pie crust from sticking. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but make sure to grease it well.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough pie crust. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Bake the pie until it is set: The pie is done baking when the custard is set and the top is golden brown. Insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the pie; it should come out clean when the pie is done.

Conclusion:

Zucchini custard pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up fresh zucchini and is a perfect dish for a summer picnic or potluck. With its creamy custard filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
