Pat dry the sliced zucchini. Finely slice the onions.

Heat few tablespoons of olive oil and cook the onions until almost soft.

When soften add the zucchini and cook for further 5 minutes or until the zucchini start to soft.

Add the chopped dill and let it cool.

While the pastry and the zucchini mixture are cooling slightly combine 3 eggs with 1 1/4 cup milk.
