Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or thawed and drained frozen spinach)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the dish

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a pie dish or an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Prepare the Zucchini:
    Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to avoid a soggy pie.
  • Sauté the Spinach and Onions:
    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
    Add the spinach and cook until wilted (if using fresh), about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Mix the Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, flour, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    Stir in the grated zucchini and sautéed spinach and onions. Mix everything until well combined.
  • Bake the Pie:
    Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
    A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Serve:
    Let the zucchini and spinach pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or as part of a brunch spread.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add some fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the mix.
  • If you prefer a bit of crunch, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or extra Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick, healthy meal.
