Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 units large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 unit store-bought or homemade pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the zucchini and grate it using a box grater. Transfer the grated zucchini to a colander, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. Set it aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, olive oil, and baking powder until smooth.

Step 5

Add the squeezed zucchini, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, dill, black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Roll out the pie crust (if it’s not already rolled) and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess around the edges.

Step 7

Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy Mamba’s Zucchini Pie warm or at room temperature!
