Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish or quiche pan.
Finely dice the onion. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Grate the zucchinis and carrot using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated vegetables using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, grated zucchini, grated carrot, feta cheese, and grated mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the vegetable and cheese mixture, stirring to combine.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Pour this egg mixture into the vegetable-flour mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Finely chop the parsley and fold it into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pashtida is set in the center and the top is golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the pashtida from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
