Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

While waiting, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pat the zucchini slices dry with paper towels to remove the released liquid.

Step 6

Add the zucchini slices to the egg mixture and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

Step 8

Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the edges.

Step 9

Pour the zucchini mixture into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
