Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and
garlic; sauté until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add zucchini, bell pepper and
artichokes; sauté until crisp-tender.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, cheese, basil and oregano until blended.
Add the zucchini mixture and mix well. Pour into the potato crust.
Bake in the center of the oven until a knife inserted near the center comes
out clean, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Cut into wedges. Serve with marinara sauce. Makes 4 servings.
