Zucchini and Lemon Pie image

This recipe is from Madeleine Kamman's book When French Women Cook. This is great as a summertime dessert with coffee. I have also made it in a square pan and cut it into bars for an appetizer. You could use a store bought pie crust, but the crust is actually quite easy to make. I usually bake the crust with the zucchini while I am mixing the custard to cut down on time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the graham cracker crumbs in the crust. It turned out great!

The crust on this pie was a little soggy. I think I'll try blind baking it next time.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
