Zucchini pie recipe
I'm all about Zucchini the past couple of months. I've been trying to come up with as many different ways to use it just cause it's one of my favorites.
So eating it in the form of a pie sounded perfect!
And you'd be surprised how versatile they are and how many different ways you can prepare them.
I guess probably the most unique creation I made with Zucchini was a hot dog.
Being a vegetarian and not eating gluten I really hadn't experienced one in a while. So sad, I know Right?
And I can honestly tell you that the textures and flavors worked out great.
Hot dogs back on the menu topped with all the goodies<----Slaw, onions, and Dijon mustard always a must.
What's really weird is back in my hot dog eating days..long, long, ago..I don't remember eating much zucchini.
Guess many things are always changing in our lives and I've accepted most of it graciously or at least I think I have.

Hi Jeanie, I haven't tried freezing this, but I think it should be okay to freeze. Let me know if you give it a try! ๐

I haven't always been a fan of cauliflower but I recently made a soup with it that changed my life. I think I'll try baking it into a pie next!

Savory pies are something that my family loves and you are so right about zucchini. They are so versatile and hold up to any kind of recipe. I can't wait for summer to come by soon to start planting my garden.

I may try this tonight! Zucchini hasn't been in my store for a couple of weeks, but I do have yellow squash. I bet it would be a tasty substitution. It probably won't be as colorful, but still tasty!

I hope you do Alicia and you could certainly try subbing with yellow squash. Let me know how it turns out ๐

This looks absolutely divine! The perfect dish for a light dinner (although I may add some smoked turkey to it and tomatoes! I'll let you know how it is!)

Your quiche looks delicious. My daughter is also vegetarian and gluten free. Crustless quiche with a variety of veggies and cheese are a great main dish everyone can enjoy! Have you tried this without the tortilla? Zucchini are such a moist veggie, I was wondering if the tortilla helps soak up extra juices?
Reply
Stef
Thanks! And I haven't made this particular quiche without the tortilla. I just thought it would be a great experiment and so easy. It definitely added an extra element of flavor so I would recommend not skipping that step.

Stef
Thanks Megan! Yup this would be perfect for that ๐

I absolutely LOVE cauliflower and zucchini. I just bought a round pan that will be begging to be made into this as soon as it comes in! Looks like the perfect light dinner served alongside a salad!

I can see this as a luncheon dish or even brunch! It sounds delicious and anything with zucchini and cheese has my vote. We eat zucchini year round and this is going to be on my list for my next supply of zucchini.

Thanks Byron and the charred edge is my favorite too ๐

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini unless it's baked in a pie or a quiche such as this. I was scrolling through, casually reading your post, when I saw that one picture with the charred outer edge. That's always my favourite part of anything baked - especially with cheese! I'm always on the lookout for easy weeknight vegetarian dinner options - this one is going on my list!
