Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the zucchinis, then trim and thinly slice them. Peel and finely chop the onion.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini and onion, then sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and garlic powder until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add this dry mixture to the egg and cheese mixture, stirring until smooth.
Add the cooled zucchini and onion mixture to the batter, folding gently to combine.
Roll out the unbaked pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the zucchini pie filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Italian Zucchini Pie!
