Notes
📝 Recipe Notes
Zucchini prep matters – Don’t skip sautéing! It’s the key to a creamy filling and avoiding a soggy crust.
Vegan cheese options – Use any meltable shredded vegan cheese (like Daiya, Violife, or Follow Your Heart).
Crust tip – If your crust is very soft or homemade, blind-bake it for 8–10 minutes before adding the filling to keep the bottom crisp.
Make ahead – Can be baked a day in advance, then served cold or reheated.
