Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Feta Pie without Crust.
Step 1
Start by grating the zucchini using the largest holes of a box grater.
Step 2
Once grated, place the zucchini in a colander, sprinkle it with half a teaspoon of salt, and let it drain for about 30 minutes.
Step 3
This step helps remove excess moisture, ensuring your dish has the perfect texture.
Step 4
While the zucchini is draining, grab a large bowl and whisk the eggs until they’re nice and frothy.
Step 5
Next, add in the creamy Greek yogurt and a third of a cup of olive oil, whisking everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 6
Gradually incorporate the self-rising flour, mixing until the batter is smooth and inviting.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-inch round baking pan by brushing it with a teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle half of the bread crumbs evenly across the bottom of the pan for a delightful crunch.
Step 9
After the zucchini has drained, take it and place it in a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 10
Gather the ends and twist to squeeze out as much liquid as you can—this will help your dish stay light and fluffy.
Step 11
Now, transfer the drained zucchini into the bowl with your egg and flour mixture.
Step 12
Add in the chopped bell pepper, onion, a dash of black pepper, the remaining quarter teaspoon of salt, and two tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese.
Step 13
Mix everything together until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 14
Spread this vibrant mixture evenly in your prepared baking pan, then top it off with the rest of the feta and sprinkle the remaining bread crumbs on top for that extra crunch.
Step 15
Pop the pan into your preheated oven and bake for about an hour, or until the pie is set and the top is a lovely golden brown.
Step 16
Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 20 minutes before slicing into it.
Step 17
This dish is not just a treat for the taste buds; it’s a celebration of fresh ingredients and comforting flavors that you’ll want to share with family and friends! Enjoy every bite!.
