This zucchini pie is the perfect way to enjoy in-season fresh zucchini. Tender zucchini and onions are mixed into a savory biscuit-style batter with two kinds of cheese and poured into a pie dish and baked until golden brown.
Zucchini Pie Overview
I love this recipe for a quick and budget-friendly dinner idea. This is not a traditional pie using a pie crust and filling. Instead, all ingredients are mixed with bisquick and dumped into a pie pan for a savory and slightly sweet meal.
The batter creates a biscuit-style dough that is perfect to blend with vegetables. Feel free to use this method for other savory pies including sliced squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, fresh basil and rosemary.

- 1 cup bisquick mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder

STEP 7: Pour the zucchini mixture into a greased pie dish and smooth out with a spatula. Arrange the zucchini on top in a pleasing display. Sprinkle the top with 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese.
STEP 8: Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, or until zucchini slices are tender and edges are golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean when poked through the center.

Recipe Tips
- Be sure to slice the zucchini into thin strips. This will ensure they cook evenly in the recipe. Shredded zucchini would also work, but should be squeezed to remove the excess moisture.
- Chop the onion into small bite-size pieces. You don’t want large chunks.
- Zucchini slices will stick together. Try to separate the large clumps of zucchini as you mix them with the batter.
- Swap the cheddar cheese for any other favorites including marble, mozzarella, monterey jack, goat cheese, feta cheese or swiss.
- Feel free to use other vegetables such as sweet corn, tomatoes and bell pepper. Just be sure to slice them into small pieces.
How To Store Leftovers
Leftover zucchini pie can be stored in an airtight container or with plastic wrap the fridge for up to 4-5 days. It’s easy to reheat a slice in the microwave for 1 minute to heat and serve.
