Description

Zucchini Onion Pie: A crustless, cheesy vegetable bake perfect for brunch or dinner. Ready in 1 hour with garden-fresh flavors!


Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 3 eggs

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon mustard powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder


Instructions

Step 1: Prep Vegetables

  1. Grate zucchinis using the large holes of a box grater. Place in a colander, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt, and let drain 10 minutes.

  2. Squeeze zucchini firmly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

  3. Dice onion into ¼-inch pieces.

Step 2: Make Batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and oil until combined.

  3. Add garlic powder, oregano, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk to incorporate.

  4. Stir in grated zucchini, diced onion, cheddar, and Parmesan.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

  1. Sift flour and baking powder directly into the bowl.

  2. Gently fold until just combined (don’t overmix).

Step 4: Bake

  1. Pour batter into prepared dish, smoothing the top.

  2. Bake 35-40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

  3. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Squeezing zucchini is crucial to prevent soggy pie
  • Resting time allows flavors to meld and makes slicing cleaner
  • Don’t overmix – a few lumps in the batter are fine
