Genova Delicatessen zucchini torta

I come from a Genovese family and here's our recipe for Zucchini & Artichoke Torta. We had this or some variation on the torta (spinach, sausage) for every get-together. Sometimes rice was also thrown into the mix for a heartier torta. Enjoy!

3-1/2 cups thinly sliced (unpeeled) zucchini
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. butter
8 eggs
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp. dried parsley
1/4 t. dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 cans (8.5 oz each) artichoke hearts, chopped

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Saute zucchini and onion together in butter until tender.

Meanwhile, break eggs into a large bowl, and whisk in next seven ingredients (pepper through bread crumbs). Add in artichoke hearts and pour entire mixture into 13x9 glass baking dish.

Bake one hour or until mixture is puffed up, firm, and with a golden brown top. Beyond yummy. :)
