Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges for a decorative touch. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. (8-10 minutes) Add the minced garlic, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant. (1-2 minutes) Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

03

Step

In a large bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture, sliced zucchini, beaten eggs, sliced carrot, half of the shredded Cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine. (5 minutes) Add the cornbread mix and milk to the zucchini mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Gently even out the top, then pinch the edges of the pie crust down into the pan until about 1/4-inch from the top. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese evenly over the filling. (1 minute) Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set in the center and the top is golden brown. (40-45 minutes) Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes along with the cayenne pepper.
If you don't have a pre-made pie crust, feel free to use your favorite homemade recipe. Just be sure to blind-bake it for a few minutes before adding the filling to prevent a soggy crust.
This pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It also makes a great make-ahead dish for potlucks or gatherings.
Variations: Add different vegetables, such as bell peppers or spinach.

    I used gluten-free cornbread mix, and it worked perfectly. A great option for those with dietary restrictions.

  • Stefanie Hagenes

    I baked it in a cast iron skillet and the crust was perfectly crispy.

    This recipe is a game-changer! My kids, who usually turn their noses up at zucchini, devoured it!

  • Reilly Harris

    I didn't have oregano so I used Italian seasoning instead, still tasted great.

  • Brad Gibson

    The pie crust I bought was too thick, so I recommend flattening it a bit before putting it into the pan.

  • Rebeca Krajcik

    The cayenne pepper gives it just the right amount of kick. I'll be making this again soon!

  • Ethelyn Wehner

    I will definitely try this recipe. I have lots of zucchini.

    I added some chopped ham to the mixture, and it turned out wonderfully! Definitely a crowd-pleaser.
