Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This helps keep the pie from becoming watery.

- Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges if needed.
- Pour the zucchini cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm as a savory side dish, light lunch, or cozy family dinner.
- For the best texture, make sure to squeeze the grated zucchini well before mixing it with the cheeses.
Notes
- Ensure to squeeze the grated zucchini thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
- This pie can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Feel free to customize the herbs or add other vegetables.
