Add zucchini strips to a large pot of boiling, salted water (the water should be "salty like the sea" as they say). Return to a boil and boil for 30 seconds. Drain and spread on paper towels or a wire rack for several hours or as long as you can.
Preheat oven to 450F. Lightly grease a 9" pie plate or quiche pan.
Mix zucchini with cream, eggs, cheese and pepper. Pour into a pan and place on a baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned.
