Learned this from an Italian neighbor, and boy was it a hit!

Scarpaccia is a delightful Italian dish that hails from the coastal region of Tuscany. Traditionally made with zucchini, this savory pie is a perfect way to showcase fresh, seasonal vegetables. My version features vibrant bell peppers and onions, adding a sweet and tangy twist to the classic. It's a fantastic dish to whip up for a weekend brunch or a light dinner, and it's a great way to bring a taste of Italy to your table without needing a plane ticket.
This Italian Bell Pepper and Onion Scarpaccia pairs beautifully with a simple green salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. You might also consider serving it alongside a bowl of minestrone soup for a more substantial meal. If you're hosting a brunch, a platter of fresh fruit and a selection of cheeses would complement the scarpaccia perfectly.
