Description
This savory zucchini pie is a simple, comforting bake that blends fresh garden zucchini, salty Parmesan, and pantry staples into a delicious, custard-like meal. It is an easy, reliable recipe that tastes even better when served the next day.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups fresh zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup baking mix
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, oil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Fold in the sliced zucchini, chopped onion, and baking mix until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, spreading it out to the edges.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is firm. Let sit for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure your zucchini slices are dry before adding them to the batter to avoid excess moisture. Using a deep-dish pie plate is recommended to prevent the pie from overflowing while it puffs up in the oven. This dish also makes for an excellent make-ahead meal as the flavors continue to develop after refrigeration.
