This quiche-like Zucchini Pie Recipe is perfect for a meatless Monday dinner or a weekend brunch.

When zucchini is in season, I often go overboard making any and everything I can with zucchini - Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, Zucchini Pizza Crust, and Cheesy Zucchini Rice. I absolutely love using zucchini in dishes in the kitchen. This year, I made a Zucchini Pie and since zucchini "season" I've made it three times. It's SO GOOD that I eat it for days on end! Sometimes I make it and don't share it with my family, it's THAT good!

Zucchini is part of the squash family and full of good nutrients and vitamins which make this pie a healthy and filling choice. Plus if you eat this zucchini pie for breakfast, you're already adding a serving of vegetables to your daily diet! And that's certainly a win-win situation!

While I like to use home-made pie crust, you can always use a pre-made, store bought pie crust and will have similar results. If you have a simple food processor, I encourage you to try your hand at homemade pie crust. It's quite simple and literally takes longer to wash the food processor than to make the crust in it.

To Make the Crust

To Make Filling

1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. In a skillet, add zucchini, onion and butter. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes until onion is tender and zucchini is soft. Let cool for a few minutes.
3. In a bowl, beat eggs, and seasonings together. Stir in cheese and add the zucchini mixture.
4. Pour into prepared pie crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until done. (Center comes out clean when a knife is inserted in the center)
