This Spinach and Zucchini Pie is a healthy and delicious dish that combines fresh spinach, zucchini, eggs, and cheese into a savory pie. Packed with vegetables and simple ingredients, it’s an ideal meal for any time of day, whether served hot or cold.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups Zucchini, thinly sliced (unpeeled)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 large Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • Pinch of Ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella, goat, or soy cheese (optional)

Instructions

  • Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until tender. Add zucchini and minced garlic, cooking for 5 minutes while stirring.
  • Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine lightly beaten eggs, thawed spinach, parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. If using cheese, add it to the mixture. Stir in the sautéed zucchini mixture.
  • Assemble Pie: Transfer the filling into a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake: Place the pie plate in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C). Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the center is set but still moist.
  • Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. It can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference.

Notes

  • Cheese Alternatives: Choose between mozzarella, goat, or soy cheese for a customized flavor. For a lighter version, omit the cheese entirely.
  • Vegetable Variations: Add other veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance the flavor and texture.
  • Herb Substitutes: Feel free to experiment with basil or oregano instead of parsley for a different taste profile.
