This zucchini and feta loaf is one of the best recipes I’ve ever created for our website!
This one bowl zucchini and feta loaf is the ultimate shortcut to authentic Mediterranean flavor without the mountain of dishes. Perfect for busy weeknights or effortless weekend brunching, this recipe brings together a handful of simple ingredients in just a single bowl.
Every slice is packed with classic Greek flavors, celebrating a vibrant combination of fresh herbs and rich cheeses. The classic trio of zucchini, scallions, and plenty of fresh dill provides a bright, earthy base that beautifully mimics traditional Mediterranean savory pies.
Texture is where this loaf truly shines, achieving a flawless balance of moisture and richness. The combination of buttermilk and eggs creates a remarkably tender, melt in your mouth crumb, while the grated zucchini keeps the interior beautifully soft.

Can this be made with almond or coconut flour? Don’t do all purpose. Have zucchini galore trying all kinds of recipes to use them up. If so what would the measurements be? I thought about trying it but I’ve had too many disasters. 🤭
I made a mistake, I thought I had some fairly fresh Dill … I didn’t. All I could find was some old almost ground dill. Please do not make this with out fresh ingredients and make sure you have them all before you attempt it. It turned out to be a heavy type of bread, that was eatable, but mostly tasteless. Next time I try it, I will have all the right ingredients. Good Luck To You All.
Hi Rob, Im sorry the recipe didnt work out for you!
It was okay, but too floury and dry and not a great deal of flavour. Zucchini bakes that are egg-based are much tastier and have a much more palatable texture.
Hi Donna, I’m sorry you didnt enjoy the recipe!
no mention in the recipe on when to add the zucchini…
Hi Ash, it is mentioned in step 2, to be added with the scallions, dill etc.
So easy to make and very tasty I sliced it and melted cheese on it. I made another batch substituted the flour for gluten free flour added capsicum and baked it in muffin tins now my daughter who is coeliachas muffins for a quick lunch as well.
I love your Recieps so easy and the ingredients are usually what I have in my pantry
Hi Linda, that’s my main objective: simple to make and delish! Thank you for the kind feedback and I’m glad you loved the loaf!
