Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1.5 cups feta cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thinly slice the zucchini and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.
Stir in the garlic, zucchini, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the zucchini is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Crumble the feta cheese and gently fold it into the zucchini mixture along with the egg mixture.
Sprinkle in half of the parmesan cheese, and mix well to combine.
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
Pour the zucchini mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the filling is firm and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
