    * Note:  See the "Basic Easy Crust" recipe which is
  included in this collection.
  
     Prepare the "Basic Easy Crust."  Roll out three
  quarters of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness, then wrap
  the remaining quarter of the dough for another use.
     Place the dough in a deep 9-inch pie dish and trim
  it so there is 1/2-inch of excess around the edge.
     Poke the bottom of the dough all over with a fork.
  Form an attractive edge around the dish by pinching
  the overhanging dough between your fingers.
     Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  Remove and allow to cool.
     Heat a large frying pan and add the oil, garlic and
  onion.  Saute until the onion is clear.
     Add the herbs and cook a couple of minutes more.
  Allow to cool.  Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl.  Beat
  in the sour cream, heavy cream and salt and pepper to
  taste.
     Place some of the egg mixture in the bottom of the
  prebaked pie shell. Add a layer of the onion mixture
  and a layer of sliced zucchini.  Continue layering,
  finishing with the egg mixture.
     Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, then reduce the
  heat to 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until quiche
  is set.
     Remove and allow to cool a bit before cutting.
     This recipe serves 6.

  your family.
