Ingredients
Scale
For the zucchini pie:
- 1200 g (2.6 lbs) light green, small to medium-sized zucchinis
- 4 medium-sized eggs, lightly beaten
- 200 g (7 oz) Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small red onion, minced
- 2 small spring onions, minced
- 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil + extra for the pan
- 300 g (10.6 oz) feta cheese, coarsely crumbled
- 220 g (7.7 oz) corn flour + some extra for the pan
- Olive oil, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with olive oil and dust lightly with corn flour.
- Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, Greek yogurt, baking soda, dill, parsley, red onion, spring onions, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Fold in the crumbled feta cheese and corn flour, mixing until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pie is set in the center.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Squeeze out excess water from the zucchini to prevent a soggy pie.
- You can substitute feta with ricotta or goat cheese for variation.
- This pie is gluten-free thanks to the corn flour; do not substitute with regular flour if strict gluten-free is required.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
