Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large zucchini
- 2 ears sweet corn
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 12 ounces shredded mozzarella and Swiss cheese
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- ½ cup yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
Fats and Liquids:
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 375°F and coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ½ cup diced yellow onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add 2 ears of corn kernels, 4 cups thinly sliced zucchini, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon salt over the vegetables.
- Sauté the vegetable mixture until moisture evaporates and vegetables soften, approximately 8-9 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Stir 12 ounces of shredded mozzarella and Swiss cheese into the warm vegetable mixture until well combined.
- Transfer the vegetable and cheese mixture to the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the center becomes firm.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 7-10 minutes before cutting into servings.
- Slice and serve the pie warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Grate your zucchini and pat it dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture that could make the pie soggy.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like sharp cheddar or gruyère for unique flavor variations.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your cheese is gluten-free and serve the pie without a crust.
- Fresh herbs from your garden can elevate the flavor profile, so swap dried basil and oregano with fresh chopped herbs when possible.
