Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Zucchini Pie that is perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 4 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the olive oil, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley if using.
- Add the squeezed zucchini to the egg mixture and mix well. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the mixture.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
