Zucchini Pie with Cheese is a savory dish that brings together the fresh flavors of zucchini, eggs, and a mix of cheeses, often including feta or Parmesan. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, this pie is typically baked in a flaky pastry crust or a crustless variation for a lighter option. The zucchini provides a low-calorie, nutrient-rich base, packed with vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. The cheese contributes a creamy texture and a savory kick, but it can add saturated fat and sodium, depending on the type and quantity used. This dish is often flavored with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or oregano, enhancing its aromatic profile. While Zucchini Pie can be a nutritious choice, opting for reduced-fat cheese and minimal added oils can improve its health profile, making it a satisfying and balanced dish for any occasion.
