Preheat the oven to 350F. In a covered saucepan, cook the zucchini in boiling water until tender. Drain, then mash them in a large bowl. Add the cup of cheese and the egg, crackers and butter; mix well with a wooden spoon. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.

Personal Notes:
I made this for the first time for a dinner party here in Austin. It was an instant hit! With so much butter and cheese, you can't go wrong. I like it with a bit more (fresh) nutmeg than the recipe calls for. Also, one time I made it with garlic cheddar cheese, which I know sounds gross, but it was good!
