Ingredients

Scale

Pie Ingredients

  • 3 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the grated zucchini, shredded cheese, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie dish or baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake the pie: Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature as a main dish or a side.
