Easy Vegetable Pie
If you’ve been following my recipe shares for a while, you know I’m kind of obsessed with incorporating as many veggies as possible into my creations. This takes our beloved zucchini, carrots and scallions and puts them to great use! Also, there is no need to squeeze out the liquids from the veggies.
The great thing about this recipe is that it is customizable. You can sub in any flour you want here. I used oat flour but feel free to sub in low carb almond flour. I used sharp white cheddar cheese here but you can use mozzarella or even feta for extra flavor. If you don’t have cottage cheese, simply swap in Greek yogurt or sour cream.
My favorite way to eat these is with some smashed avocado on top and flakey salt. So delicious and satiating.

Looking for more?
Hi! Added too much Greek yogurt, about 3 oz more. What can I do to equal out the flavor and consistency? Thanks!!
Love this recipe. Wondering if possible to add the conversion tab which gives the option of US or metric measurements? Love that option. Thank you.
Hi Sandy, SO sorry about that, i usually update the conversion tab and on this one, it got skipped. Thank you for letting me know! Its been updated now!
What can you replace the cottage cheese for if dairy free? Thanks!
Hi Eva, I would do ddiary free yogurt in its place
How many servings does this make?
Hi Rosemary, all servings are listed at the top of the recipe box. But for this, you can cut the pieces as small or as big as you like!
Deeeeelicious!!!!! Was looking for a different way to use my abundance of zucchini. This recipe is a keeper! Have already forwarded the recipe to several. Love that it can be made ahead! Thanks for sharing.
HI Donna, I’m so happy you enjoyed the dish and I’m very grateful that you forwarded the recipe to others so that they can recreate as well! Cheers!
Made it today as I had leftover zuchini. I also thought it needed more seasoning so added my own blend with dill. I also used a swiss/gruyere blend along with mozzarella. Lastly I used almond flower to make low carb! Hubby approved and it was absolutely delish!
Hi Kelley, I’m so glad you both enjoyed the recipe with some adjustments! I thank you for coming back to share your feedback – I’m certain it will be helpful to other readers!
I made this because it sounded easy and good,it was all that my adult sons inhaled it and it was gone at 1 meal.Making it again today for a friend
HI Ann, that’s so awesome! I’m glad your sons especially enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for coming back to leave a comment and a 5 star rating!!
I’ve made many of your recipes and now many are favourites, including this one! You speak my vegetarian language! ❤️
I’m a very experienced cook and followed this to your specifications. However, this wasn’t a pie, it was more like a bread. It’s very delicious, but I wouldn’t classify this as pie. Slab, maybe? (Although not as an attractive recipe title haha)
Hi Dee, I happen to agree with you on the title. It is a denser pie lol
I tend to use the word PIE because I’m Greek and its where my mind goes when i create recipes of this type. I’m super happy that you are enjoying multiple dishes! Thank you for your feedback and continued support!
Can part of this be frozen?
Absolutey yes!!
I can’t eat
Zucchini. What vegetable can I use instead?
HI Shelley, grated potatoes
can we use gluten free plain flour.
can you explain what is 0.33 cup yogurt, 1.67 cup flour and 0.33 cup grated cheese.
also could you let me know if I could use gluten free plain flour.
will it come out good if I use this plain flour
I soak 3 golden potatoes for 10 minutes, then quarter them and cook lightly for 20 minutes s while prepping other ingredients. Drain water and cool till cool enough to handle cut into small s, similar to your diced onions. now use Half to 2/3 cup of your gluten free flour blend. also, add another egg. use a scant tsp of grated black pepper, or blend of peppercorns. I used fresh basil and parsley in place of dill. It tastes delicious!
can you use fat free Greek yoghurt?
Perhaps a silly question but… I see you specify a metal 9×13 pan. I have glass 9×13 does it matter? I would like to try this week as it looks like a recipe we would really enjoy.
Hi Melissa, no silly questions!
Yes should work
That was my question too! Thanks for asking!
Is there a substitute for the eggs in this recipe for those who are vegans?
HI Dee, I havent’ personally tried THIS recipe with flax eggs, but in my personal opinion, I think they would work here! Enjoy!
To die for, it’s perfect.
Oh my gosh, this is AMAZING!! I could eat this every single day.
Hi Liz, i’m so happy you liked the recipe! cheers!
Hi Stella, can I ask a question? I have a friend who does keto and I was thinking this would be good for her because it says eight carbs. However, Is that right? All that flour but only ate carbs per serving? Thanks so much!
I found it very bland. not enough seasoning. a little unpleasant even when adding ketchup to the slice. I won’t be making it again.
I would think adding ketchup to it would make it unpleasant….
You know you could add spices, change out the veggies, up the cheese content, etc. Any number of things to make it work for you. I have never in all my cooking years, found an irredeemable recipe. Some I have altered considerably, but they worked. I almost always twerk something in a recipe
