Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only an estimate and can vary based on the products used.
- Because the cheeses can be salty, the only salt in the pie is the 1 teaspoon for the grated zucchini to remove its liquids. If you use less salty cheese, add a little salt to the mixture.
- The cheeses should be a total of 2 cups. You can vary the quantities of each type depending on what cheese you are using.
- Pie can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
