Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a small amount of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the zucchini, dice the bell pepper, chop the broccoli into small florets, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Layer the sautéed vegetables and halved cherry tomatoes evenly in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the vegetables and cheese in the pie dish, making sure it covers the ingredients. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a main dish or side. Enjoy your Impossible Garden Pie!
