Healthyish Zucchini Pie
Servings: 6 people
Equipment
- saute pan
- mandoline
- glass pie dish
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup white or yellow onion diced small
- 3 cloves of garlic minced about 1 tablespoon
- 7 small zucchini sliced thin- I used a mandoline to ensure evenly-sized slices. 4.5 cups
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese extra for the top
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 1 tube of crescent rolls 8 pack
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Grab a 10-inch glass pie dish and line it with the crescent rolls. No need to grease the dish. Set aside.
- In a large sauté pan, over medium heat add the butter, garlic, diced onions and thinly sliced zucchini. ** I used a mandoline to slice my zucchini to about 1/8-inch slices. This will help the zucchini to cook evenly. **
- Season the zucchini mixture with salt, pepper, oregano, and dried parsley. Stir until everything is well coated. Cook the onions, garlic and zucchini FOR 10 MINUTES only.
- While the veggies are getting tender, grab a mixing bowl and whisk your eggs.
- Add the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese into the wihsked egg. Stir until well combined.
- Once the zucchini mixture is tender, add it into the egg and cheese mixture. Stir well.
- Pour everything into the pie dish lined with the crescent rolls.
- Top with some extra mozzarella cheese and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- If the crust begins to brown, simply use foil to cover the crust.
- I broiled mine for an additional 2 minutes to get the cheese extra crispy on top!
- Wait 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

This recipe is AMAZING! My kitchen smells amazing, the pie looks beautiful (even with my amateur chef skills, ha!), and it tastes even better than it smells/looks. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing!
Easy recipe to follow, simple ingredients, and full of flavor! I spiraled the zucchini and still worked very well with this recipe. It’s a great alternative to the popular grill or baked goods recipes and will certainly be making it again!
Can you add ground turkey/other meat and decrease some of the zucchini?
you could try it. I haven’t tested that recipe, but it might work ok.
