Today our friends over at Gardening With Children have another tasty treat for us. It is a savory and sweet corn and zucchini pie. This pie has no crust and instead focuses on the flavor of the filling!
Sweet Corn and Zucchini Pie
Recipe courtesy of pinchofyum.com.
Shopping List
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 ears sweet corn
- 2 large zucchini, sliced thin (about 4 cups)
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces shredded cheese (I used both Mozzarella and Swiss)
- 3 eggs, beaten
- sharp knives
- large nonstick skillet
- pie pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, zucchini, and mushrooms. While the veggies saute, cut the corn kernels off the cob. Add them to the pan and continue to saute until the veggies are soft, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add the basil, oregano, and salt. Stir once to combine. Add the cheese and the beaten egg.
- Line a pie pan (9-inch or larger) with parchment paper or just grease a pan with nonstick spray. Transfer the mixture to the pan. Arrange the top so the zucchini slices lay flat and look nice.
- Top with a little extra cheese for looks, cover with greased foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top.
- Let stand for 10-15 minutes before cutting into slices.
Notes
It will bubble up a little bit as it bakes, so put a pan under to catch drips if it’s really full.
