Zucchini Pie Recipe

This zucchini pie recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch but isn’t half bad for lunch or dinner, either!

I took a cooking class in July on making nut cheeses and milk and learned a lot that I hope to share with you here shortly.

The teacher in this class is apparently a prolific gardener and had brought along a huge zucchini from her garden for us to take home. I grabbed one that was about the length of my forearm and happily went home with my mind buzzing over all the possibilities.

But then life got in the way, as it tends to do. Mini Chef got sick, and so, of course, I got sick too, and that poor zucchini just sat in the fridge, threatening to rot if I didn’t act quickly. So I finally worked up the energy to make a simple dish that my mom could eat for a couple of days while I recuperated from my head cold.

Thankfully, it turned out great, and she happily gobbled it up!

Ironic that a dairy-filled recipe would be born from a dairy-free cooking class, but there you have it. Deliciousness in a pie shell!

    Yummy! I make one almost exact to yours, but I spread 2 TB of yellow mustard on the bottom of the crust before adding the rest of the ingredients. Adds a little zing!
