Ingredients

• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a small amount of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the zucchini, dice the bell pepper, chop the broccoli into small florets, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Layer the sautéed vegetables and halved cherry tomatoes evenly in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to form a smooth batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly over the vegetables and cheese in the pie dish, making sure it covers the ingredients. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the center. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a main dish or side. Enjoy your Impossible Garden Pie!
