Ingredients

• 1 large onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large carrot
• 100 grams feta cheese
• 100 grams grated mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish or quiche pan.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Grate the zucchinis and carrot using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated vegetables using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onions, grated zucchini, grated carrot, feta cheese, and grated mozzarella cheese. Mix well.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the vegetable and cheese mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Pour this egg mixture into the vegetable-flour mixture and stir until evenly combined.

Step 7

Finely chop the parsley and fold it into the mixture.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pashtida is set in the center and the top is golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pashtida from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
