Crustless Zucchini Feta Pie (Batzina)
Fresh, straight forward simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. I love it when I don’t have to go shopping. The feta and fresh herbs are what makes this dish stand out most.
This dish is also very quick to prep with just the zucchini needing some shredding and squeezing. You can use a cheese cloth but I just use a thin cotton hand towel that I have designated my zucchini squeezer.
Don’t forget to evenly, yet lightly brush your 13×9 inch pan with some olive oil to prevent sticking. And you have to also let it settle and cool in the pan prior to slicing and removing.
If you are practicing a gluten free diet, feel free to sub in some almond flour, oat flour or gluten free all purpose flour here. It conveniently works the same. This dish is my go -to for meal prepping. I make a tray of it and it lasts me all week for lunches.

Loved it! Made 1 mistake I added real lemon juice 2 tsp. to it along with the lemon zest. It taste’s more like a desert. I also used almond flour and it was sweet too. Yum!!!
I’ve made this recipe countless times and it never fails! This is one of my boyfriend’s favorite recipes and he requests it at least once a week. I highly recommend this recipe if you’re looking for a low-carb side and love fresh Greek flavors!
Hi Cam, thats amazing! I’m so glad its a winner with both you and your boyfriend! Cheers!

Hi, can I use corn meal instead of the flour or some of the flour? Thanks!
I made this the other day with no changes and it was awesome. I always grow mint but rarely used it and this recipe changed my mind about mint. I had asked about the “half lemon zested” and didn’t get a reply yet, so I used the juice and zest of 1/2 lemon and really enjoyed the results.
By 1/2 lemon zested, do you mean the juice and zest of 1/2 lemon?
