Summertime Zucchini Pie

Summertime Zucchini Pie

A quiche-like dish for a light lunch or brunch, also makes a great side dish. I developed this recipe after having an abundance of zucchini in my garden every summer and trying to find a delicious way to enjoy all of it! You can substitute 2 tablespoons butter for the bacon and drippings if you prefer to leave the bacon out of the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) prepared deep-dish pie crust
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup chopped cremini mushrooms
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons chopped dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2
Press pie crust into a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil.

Step 3
Bake pie crust until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Set pie crust aside to cool. Increase oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, while retaining drippings in the skillet.

Step 5
Stir zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and garlic into the reserved bacon drippings; season with Italian seasoning, dill, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir the zucchini mixture until the zucchini is tender yet crisp, 5 to 7 minutes; remove from heat.

Step 6
Chop the bacon and stir through the zucchini mixture.

Step 7
Sprinkle about half the mozzarella cheese into the bottom of the pie crust. Spoon zucchini mixture over the mozzarella cheese layer. Pour eggs over the zucchini mixture; top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella cheese. Put pie plate onto a baking sheet.

Step 8
Bake in preheated oven until the top begins to brown, about 30 minutes.
