ZUCCHINI ONION PIE

The Zucchini Onion Pie before going into the oven.  This is just another good use of zucchini.  We like this recipe as a side for breakfast or lunch or supper, for that matter.

ZUCCHINI ONION PIE

Here is a great way to serve zucchini and the presentation might just encourage people who are not fans of zucchini to eat it!  I used the small, uniform zucchini and they looked so pretty sliced up in this pie.  However, you can use larger zucchini, too, of course.

4 eggs

¹/₂  cup grated Parmesan cheese, (125 mL)

  (the kind in a can is fine)

¹/₂  cup grated Mozzarella cheese (125 mL)

¹/₂  cup olive oil, OR use half the amount (125 mL)

1 tsp dried parsley (5 mL)

1 tsp bottled, crushed garlic (5 mL)

¹/₂  tsp salt (2 mL)

¹/₄  tsp black pepper (1 mL)

3 cups sliced zucchini (750 mL)

1 cup Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 OR simply a mix of almond flour (250 mL)
  and 1 tbsp coconut flour  (15 mL)

1 tsp baking powder (5 mL)

1 small onion, chopped

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 

In large bowl, beat eggs with fork.  Stir in Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella, olive oil, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.  Stir in sliced zucchini and Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 (combined with baking powder first in small bowl), and onion.  Pour into 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.  Bake 45 minutes until firm in center to touch.
