Description
Sweet Corn Zucchini Pie is a delightful dish that combines the sweetness of corn with the refreshing crunch of zucchini, all nestled in a delectable pie crust.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 ears sweet corn, kernels sliced off
- 2 large zucchini, sliced thinly (about 4 cups)
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces shredded mozzarella and Swiss cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Then, toss in the sliced zucchini, corn kernels, mushrooms, dried basil, oregano, and salt. Sauté the vegetables until they’re tender and the moisture has mostly evaporated, approximately 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese blend. Let the mixture cool slightly, then gently mix in the beaten eggs.
4. Pour the vegetable and cheese mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake the Sweet Corn Zucchini Pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
5. Once the Sweet Corn Zucchini Pie is out of the oven, let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a more substantial main course, you can incorporate proteins like grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, or even cooked sausage.
For a vegetarian-friendly version, simply omit the cheese and substitute it with a plant-based alternative, such as cashew-based cheese or nutritional yeast.
To make gluten-free, use a pre-made gluten-free pie crust or create your own using a blend of gluten-free flours, such as almond flour or rice flour.
