It’s fall, and one of the most popular ingredients in fall cooking is zucchini. This is the time that zucchini are in season, and Marguerite took advantage of that with quite a few zucchini recipes. We planned on making this recipe back in August, but skipped it due to moving. However, the recipe that was supposed to be on the blog this week turned into such a failure we had to switch it up.  Don’t worry, though, we will share all of our recipe fails with you sometime around Christmas!

Until then, here is what Marguerite had to say about this zucchini torte recipe:

As you can see, this recipe has an interesting set of ingredients. So, as with a lot of our recipes, Aaron asked his mom for some clarification. She said a torte can either be like a cake or like a quiche in her experience. She also suggested which pan we should cook the zucchini torte in since Marguerite did not specify.

Making this zucchini torte was simple and straightforward. Cubing the zucchini was obviously a bit time consuming but mixing all the ingredients took no time at all. I do not like zucchini very much, so I did not even want to try this zucchini torte. I did think that it looked nice, and might appeal to someone who likes zucchini. Aaron did try it, because one of us had to, and he will eat almost anything. He did not enjoy this zucchini torte. It tasted strongly of zucchini, and not of much else. He also felt it didn’t taste enough like a cake or a quiche.

Aaron said to me, “if I had extra zucchini around, I’d put it in some bread before this any day.” But if you like zucchini, this torte is probably for you. We hope you enjoy Marguerite’s zucchini torte!
