Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 3 cups zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or olive oil)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup biscuit baking mix (like Bisquick)
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pie dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Combine vegetables: In a large bowl, mix the thinly sliced zucchini, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley until well combined to distribute flavors evenly.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Then add the biscuit baking mix, oil, shredded Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Combine vegetable and batter mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the vegetables in the large bowl, stirring thoroughly to coat all the vegetables evenly with the batter.
- Pour into pie dish: Transfer the combined mixture into the greased pie dish and spread it out evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into six portions. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable or olive oil depending on your flavor preference and dietary needs.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free biscuit mix instead of the regular baking mix.
- Finely slicing the zucchini helps prevent excess moisture from making the pie soggy.
- The pie can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for different occasions.
- Adding fresh herbs like parsley enhances the flavor but you can also experiment with thyme or basil.
