Easy Sweet Corn Zucchini Pie
A creamy, flavorful pie that combines the sweet essence of corn and fresh zucchini, perfect for family dinners or casual get-togethers.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen) If fresh is unavailable, use frozen.
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Cheddar or mozzarella works great.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) Optional for added flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
- Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter (if using) until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper into the egg mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini, fresh corn, and shredded cheese. If using herbs, toss those in as well.
- Pour the mixture into a greased pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set in the center.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For variations, try different cheese types or adding more herbs. If short on time, pre-shredded veggies can be used, but fresh is recommended for the best flavor. Adjust baking time based on your oven and check for doneness a few minutes early.
