What to call a sformato?

I'm developing another exciting Italian recipe to make in the pressure cooker... but I don't know what to call it. In Italy it would be a Sformato di Zucchine, but what would it be in America? Flan? Timbale? Molded?

Thanks for your suggestions in advance!

There is no proper translation, really. A few recipes in English will call it an "Italian egg mold", but most simply use the word 'sformato' without translating it. A bit like calling a souffle a souffle...

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you Frank! Wow, I never got an alert to your reply. The sformato turned out terrible! Too much liquid, not enough eggs. I had to freeze it to keep its shape and photograph it - but only for practice. I could not, in good conscience post the recipe with untested modifications. I will tackle it again, next summer, when zucchini are aplenty!

Here is a foto of it... Yes, I keep a semi-private gallery of my recipe FAILures!!!

Frittata Non Grata - took twice as long to make in the pressure cooker and then the results resembled airplane food.

Sad Chicken - first attempt at one-pot meal, raw potatoes and overcooked broccoli, but the chiken was perfect!
