Zucchini Pie

This zucchini pie is a little like a crustless quiche, a little like a savory pie — the best of both! This was my grandmother's recipe, and we still love to make it to this day.

This fresh zucchini pie recipe is the perfect way to use up an abundance of summer produce. 

Zucchini Pie Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this homemade zucchini pie recipe: 

  • Zucchini: Start with three cups of diced zucchini. 
  • Onion: A chopped onion lends flavor and texture. 
  • Eggs: Four eggs add moisture and help bind the mixture together. 
  • Baking mix: Use store-bought Bisquick or make a homemade baking mix
  • Oil: A neutral oil, such as vegetable oil, adds moisture without imparting flavor. 
  • Cheese: For the most delicious results, grate your own Parmesan cheese.
  • Seasonings: Season the zucchini pie with fresh parsley, dried marjoram, and pepper. 

How to Make Zucchini Pie

Combine the ingredients, pour the mixture into a prepared pie dish, and bake until the top is golden brown. Find the full, step-by-step zucchini pie recipe with detailed instructions below. 

Can You Make Zucchini Pie Ahead of Time? 

Sure! This zucchini pie is a great make-ahead dish. Store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve (following the storage instructions below), then reheat in the oven. 

How to Store Zucchini Pie

Allow the pie to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in storage wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F until the zucchini pie is heated through. 

Can You Freeze Zucchini Pie? 

We don’t recommend freezing zucchini pie, as it will likely become too watery during the freezing and thawing process. If you do freeze the pie, however, make sure to wrap it multiple times in storage wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn. Enjoy within three months.

From the Editor

This recipe was tested in our test kitchen in May 2023 and updated to use shredded zucchini instead of diced, and melted butter instead of oil.

Cooking time was increased to 45 minutes.

Place shredded zucchini in a potato ricer, half at a time, and use it to squeeze out excess liquid.

You can replace baking mix with 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
