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

- 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.

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.
