Crustless Summer Zucchini Pie
Description
The recipe starts by shredding zucchini and squeezing out excess liquid to prevent sogginess. This is mixed with chopped shallots, chives, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan. A separate batter made of whole wheat flour, baking powder, milk, olive oil, eggs, salt, and pepper is combined with the vegetable and cheese mixture. The blend is poured into a lightly greased pie dish and baked at 400°F until a knife inserted comes out clean, indicating it is cooked through.
The finished pie is moist but firm, with a tender crumb enriched by the cheeses and brightened by fresh chives and shallots. It can be served warm or at room temperature, making a versatile side dish suitable for summer meals.
