Easy Zucchini Feta Pie
This is a recipe my grandmother would whip up for us on the weekends. You can cook the zucchini and onion in a pan or roast them like I did in the oven. Either way, we loved her for the warm company and delicious food she always made us. She was an angel before she became an angel.
Another fresh ingredients only recipe that really is simple to throw together. You can use a mandolin to slice the zucchini rounds or your knife; not too thick and not too thin. Keep in mind they will bake with the eggs and cheeses too! You can make this meal gluten free by subbing in almond flour in place of the breadcrumbs, which is great! You can use any shredded cheese you have.

I made this today and I had to sub broccoli for one of the zucchini’s since I only had 2. I had smoked gruyere and feta and it was a smashing success. The house smelled wonderful.
Hi Noe! Mmmm I think your broccoli and Gruyere add in sounds amazing to me! Glad it was a hit! And thank you for the rating and comment!!
Deeelish!!!
Absolutely delicious. I swapped out the zucchini for leek and fennel! I also added spinach and nduja sausage 🤤
Really easy dish! And so moreish!
Hi Alice! LOVE the leek, fennel, spinach and sausage upgrade to this dish! Thank you for your review!
Making this for this weekend. Looks amazing. I roasted zucchini and onions tonight. Will assemble and bake a quiche tomorrow!
Hi Stacy! Love the make ahead. I hope you enjoyed it!
I saw this, and said, Self? I have to make this. So I am making this for Palm Sunday’s dinner. My kitchen smells amazing and I’m anxious to see family responses and add this to my menu tonight.
Hi Jennifer! There you go! I’m happy you like the recipe so much!
Hi, This is amazing going to make it this weekend. What is the pan size ?
Hi Esther! Thank you, I hope you enjoy it! The pan is a standard sized pie dish 10 inches.
I made this yesterday, a fabulous side dish. Had 2 family ask for the recipe. Thank you for showing your post. Will definitely try other recipes I see from this sight
Hi Jennifer! Glad everyone enjoyed the dish! Thank you for sharing with everyone and your kind comment!
Can you assemble this ahead of time, refrigerate, and bake when ready?
Making this now. It has all my favorite things and smells delish! Can’t wait to
Dig in!
Hi Amanda! Hope you enjoyed the pie!! Thank you for the rating too! All the best!!
I am rating this based on the smell of it baking. We are having for dinner tonight. Very easy. Looks so pretty. Since next week is Passover I will be making this using matzo meal in place of bread crumbs. Happy to have something to look forward to for Passover too.
Hi Cathy! I hope the pie turned out well and I too base things on the smell lol. LOVE It! Enjoy your Passover!!
Love All your Recipes 🙌
Hi Brenda! You are so kind for that message – thank you!
Delicious, I added an extra egg.
I am making it for Easter breakfast
Yummy
Hi Charlene! I truly hope you guys enjoy for Easter!
Prepped tonight for Easter brunch! Can’t wait to dig in :-).
Hi Kristen! Hope you all enjoy the pie! Happy Easter!!
Decided to try and I am now the ” chef” of the century. It came out perfect and was the hit of the party. Bill
Hi Bill, That’s fantastic! I’m glad you got some props for the amazing chef skills! Well done!
This looks amazing and I can’t wait to make it later this week. I wanted to add protein to it (ground beef and ground sausage combo) in the middle layer with the mozzarella. If I were doubling this recipe, would a pound of each be too much or not enough?
Lovd this great recipe. Perfect golden brown. I used Goat cheese instead of feta was yum. Also needs more salt than you would think of not using feta Wish there was a measurement as a guide. Also wasnt sure if the parm on top was extra after the amount listed or to share. Thanks for this.
Hi Madine! Glad you were pleased with the recipe and I love the goat cheese sub so much! If the ingredient is listed with a measurement then it is included in the nutritional info.. if not, then its not in there.
Delicious!! So simple to make!! Love your recipes for that reason!
Hi Maria! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and leave such kind feedback!
Made this almost exactly as directed, feta was a 4oz. container, and the very picky grandson (10 yr) was over for dinner. He loved it! Along with the rest of us he wanted a second serving. It’s now in my permanent rotation. 🙂
Hi Monica! Glad your grandson approved! Thanks for taking the time to comment and rate!!
Made this three times and it’s always a hit! Passed it on to two of my friends and they are loving it too! Thanks for sharing!
Love it making it tonight with zucchini & spinach
I love, love, love the zucchini feta pie recipe.
Thank you for trying it Yolanda!!
I used a mild Swiss instead of mozzarella. I also added extra feta and dill. I used almond flour and 1 extra egg , plus a dollop of Greek yogurt. I also added lemon infused olive oil to roast the veggies. It tasted great!
Hi Cynthia! I love all of your recommendations! Thank you for trying the recipe and taking the time to leave the feedback! Cheers!
reminds me of kolokithopita… 😋
Loved it. I added some tomatoes to vegetable mix and used Vidalia instead of red onion. Even roasting vegetables ahead left a lot of liquid. Made a day ahead and it was beautiful.
Hi Ellen, I love reading everyone’s add ins ..gives me some ideas on what to incorporate next time! Thank you
I give this a five star!!! Very easy and delicious! Next time I will add some mushrooms as well. Thank you for a great recipe!
Hi Jan, That’s so kind of you to write! Glad you tried the recipe and it was such a success!
I love this dish and will definitely make it again. I served it for dinner with a salad and bread. Delicious!
I made this for dinner tonight. It was really good! I could taste the distinct flavors of the three cheeses. Yum! I will definitely make this again!
We’ve just had this for dinner, followed the recipe, absolutely superb!
I love your recipes! Thank you for sharing. X
Heaps of love and appreciation.
Claire. From New Zealand
Hello Claire in New Zealand! Thank you for trying the recipe out! Im very glad it was enjoyed!
Made this last weekend… delicious! The leftovers were even better! This will definitely be on repeat at our house!
Hi Lisa, Thanks for trying out the recipe and i’m so glad its a keeper for you!
I grew up in Athens (Lebanese family) and I love all things Greek/Mediterranean. I followed your recipe exactly. It turned out good but I think my oven at 375 must be way hotter because it was overcooked. However it smells wonderful and now I know what to do next time. Your recipes are easy to follow and delicious. Thanks for sharing them!
Hi Indy! Ovens definitely vary in strength, I’m sorry it didn’t turn out perfectly! And thank you for the kind message!
I made this yesterday for lunch today with friends. I wanted a dish that would be tasty and suitable for a number of different diets and health conditions (low carb, gluten free, vegetarian and diabetic). The dish was easy to make and smelt amazing. I warmed it through before serving and it was such a hit! Thank you so much Stella for sharing.
Hi Kerry, Glad you picked it for your luncheon! And Thank YOU for trying it out and leaving a kind comment!
Amazingly delicious
Hi Gary! Glad you enjoyed it!!
This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a recipe. I just had to let you know that I am so happy that you shared your grandmother’s recipe. I made this last night for dinner and both my husband and 22 year old son said it was the best quiche they’ve ever had. As my husband ate a leftover piece this morning, he again said how great it is (even cold). I will definitely be making this again and again!
Absolutely delish!! Made with squash and additional egg and otherwise followed recipe. Love your life!
This is truly delicious! It would pair beautifully with a side salad. I made it to the recipe instructions, omitting the mozzarella as I had none on hand. I agree with the other comment, salt is not necessary to add and if you do, be careful as the Parmesan cheese has plenty. Now… I’m going to see how it stands up to being frozen and reheated! I see no posts on that so far. Zucchini may suffer
Can you freeze this?
YEs!
This has become a staple in our household. Always a success and a great way to get the family to eat zucchini.
Hi Krystel… I love that and yes its the perfect way to sneak in some veggies that taste great!
Looks really Nice 😀 I am just not used to oz and cups. Do you have the recipe in grams ?
Hi Else, will update that now… so sorry about that!
I made this tonight and this has to be one of the absolute best dishes I’ve ever made. Even better is how easy it is to make. I thought it would be feta tasting and salty, but it ended up being sweet as it I’d have a flour pie crust. Definitely something I’ll be featuring on our dinner table often.
Thank you so much.
Hi Jorge, Sounds amazing and i’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind feedback!!
Any idea of the nutritional breakout?
Looks delicious!
Hi Barbara, will update now.. sorry about that!
This is happening today tossing in zucchini and broccoli mozzarella and Romano . Great stuff since you can use what you have available and really get your veggies in !
Hi katarina – exactly! Hope you enjoyed!
I made this it tasted pretty good, but I’m not a fan of feta and it was kind of too salty from the feta. Wondering if I could use Ricotta instead what do you think?
Hi Karen, I understand – yes ricotta should work here – great idea! Just dont go too heavy on it
This was soooo tasty. We had it with your fab Greek lettuce salad (but without the feta cos of all the cheese in the pie) and some oregano roasted potatoes. We will most DEFINITELY be having this again. Can’t find where to post a pic 🥴.
Hi Deb, Thanks so much for trying this out and the other recipes! Glad you enjoyed them!
Literally just finished eating this. Sooo good! Thank you as we all loved it!! Keep ‘em coming!! 🤩
I sauteed the zucchini and red onion instead of the oven and it came out tastier and delicious. Great recipe.
thank you
Love that tip! Thank you Etty!
This quiche is delicious! Will definitely make again for my family.
This is absolutely delicious and easy to make. I used half a red onion since it was fairly large. Will definitely be a regular on the meal prep rotation!
OMG. This is an amazing dish. I followed as is but added thinly sliced red pepper and replaced mozzarella with smoked Gruyere as another suggested. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
So tasty,can’t wait to make it again. I added red peppers as well.
Omg, that is delicious!!! Thank you!! On rotation, for sure!!! ❤️
This is SO GOOD! I made this yesterday and it was very easy to put together and bake. I was a little worried it wouldn’t all fit in my standard pie plate, but it worked beautifully! Turned out absolutely perfect. My whole family loved it. Definitely adding this to our rotation of meatless dinners and side dishes since it works both ways! Cannot wait to try more of your recipes.
I’m having a brunch for 12 on Sunday and want to add this to the menu. Do you think I could make/bake this the night before and reheat it in the morning? That’s what I’m doing with my quiche.
Hi Katie, yes, you can definitely do that!
Wow! This was really good !! Not a sage fan so I only put a pinch and added oregano and much more onion and garlic powder but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and loved it ! A keeper for sure , thanks for the recipe !
Hi Stella! I found you this morning, and I made the zucchini pie for lunch for my family. Wow!!! Everyone loved it!! It was incredibly delicious! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes. I’m so excited to meet such a great Greek cook! Thanks 🙏 again, blessings
Maria Brunetti
I have made this multiple times…it’s one of my favorite recipes EVER! It reheats nicely and it tastes good cold too. It’s just THAT
DELICIOUS! You recipes and flavor profiles are the best, thank you so much for sharing with us!
Just made this today! Absolutely yummy! I added a shallot and used veggie cheese!
My new go to recipe!
Hi Chris, glad it was enjoyed and thanks so much for sharing your feedback!
Every recipe I have made of yours has been absolutely delicious. I’m actually learning to become a better cook with your recipes. I’m vegan so I just substitute the vegan variety of your ingredients and it works perfectly. I’ve even learned to embrace the “Love Your Life” motto as I thoroughly love my meal. Thank you for sharing your love of cooking!
Hi Stephanie, That’s the best compliment and I thank you for trying so many of my recipes! You are awesome and I’m so glad the message resonates with you! Big love to you!
Thank you it is delicious!
Hi Bella, glad you enjoyed and thanks for the rating!
Baking the easy zucchini pie now! We can hardly wait. We’re vegetarian, well actually pescatarian, so we eat eggs, dairy, and fish. I’ll double the recipe next time I make it as an entree. I had to add a couple of extra eggs as I used lupin bean kibble for my bread crumbs. The instructions on the lupin bag said it could. be subbed 100% for “crumb”. LOL hopefully there’s not crunchy bits after it’s baked.
It smells fantastic!!! I have a lot of zucchini to use up (and we love it), so tonight I’ll be serving this with a side of grilled parmesan crusted zucchini halves. I think the pair will be heaven on a plate!!!
I’m so pleased that my sister-in-law sent this to me (from the UK)! This was/is my first introduction to your recipes. I look forward to perusing your site and trying more of your recipes. Thank you
Hi Leila, Welcome and I’m so happy you found the website and recipes to your liking!
Your dinner sounds like it was amazing! Cheers!
This. So fabulous! It has become one of my regular dinners. My husband and I are empty nesters so this is the perfect thing for us. We each eat half and always want more! Delicious! 😋
I just made this for the first time and ate about half— I think I could make myself sick and eat the entire thing, it’s so delicious
HI EMily, I feel you!! Same thing happens to me!
Oh my that is goooooood! I substituted chickpea flour, which is what I had. It was perfect! I will definitely make again and also try different veges, but the oven-baked zucchini and red onion were really perfect. It was easy to make too. Thank you!
Yummy, it reminds me of my mother’s dish but with potatoes:)
Absolutely delicious side dish. I have made it with bread crumbs and with almond flour for my 8 year old grandson who is gluten free. He ate 3 pieces ! Big success
I can have some pretty large zucchini…can you provide a measurement in cups or grams? thanks.
love, love this! I have made it about twenty times! Can you make it, Bake it and freeze it?
When do you grate the zucchini? The video shows grated zucchini but the recipe only says sliced.
Hi Louise, you do not grate any zucchini in this recipe…
Thank you! Spectacular taste. I can eat the whole thing in one sitting.
I can’t eat all cheeses, so I substituted feta for Friendship Farmer’s cheese and used provolone instead of mozzarella.
It baked beautifully.
love the substitutes!
Absolutely delicious! Thank you so much.
I loved the recipe I used an extra egg and added extra cheese smells delicious
Hi Elissa, sounds awesome the way you made it!
Delicious! I bake in the Traeger and the Smokey flavor is a nice touch. Add some grilled Italian sausage as a side and it’s a wonderful meal!
Love your recipes! 😊
Hi Vivian! Thanks so much for the feedback! Sounds amazing with the sausage!
Delish!! Great meatless option.
Hi Tara, thank you for trying it out!
Hi-I made this for dinner last night with a salad and it was amazing-my husband and I loved it and we are eating it for lunch today. I was wondering how all the zucchini was going to mix in with small amount of egg and cheeses, but the zucchini really cooked down in the oven and mixed in perfectly. It was sooooo delicious and I will definitely make this again very soon!
Hi Kerry, sounds like a winner to me! Glad you both enjoyed the recipe!
Did anyone got an enormous amount of liquid from the zucchini?
I didn’t – roasting the Zucchini with the onions in the oven took care of it for me.
How long did you roast yours?
Really delicious. Love the additions in the comments below. Will try some next time!
HI Jane, thanks for trying it!
Delicious!! And so easy!!!
Glad you liked it!
HOLY COW THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am speechless. Took me a long time to prep everything the first time but in the future it’ll be faster. This is so flavorful and cheesy. The mozzarella in the middle is such a scrumptious treat. The red onions were absolutely delicious in there. So happy to have this recipe for all of my zucchinis coming on.
Delicious. I didn’t have feta so I used cottage cheese. Made with almond flour. My daughter and I loved it. Thank you for the recipe!!!
Hi Emily, thanks for trying the recipe and for sharing your feedback! Glad you and your daughter liked the dish!
Love all your great recipes so can’t wait to try this! About how many cups of sliced zucchini is this? So hard to know what you consider a large zucchini, lol
Yes, that’s my question too. My homegrown zucchini is larger than grocery store zucchini. Making this now, but I think I cut up too much zucchini.
I just made this on a rainy summer morning at the cottage, and it is AMAZING! This will absolutely be on rotation for entertaining guests!
I added an extra egg, and used a fairly large red onion. I also doubled all the spices bc of the extra egg and my zucchini were fairly large, plus we love lots of flavour! I used Tex Mex shredded cheese bc that’s what was convenient. I used very little salt and it was good choice. I only needed to bake for 40 minutes and it was nicely browned & crunchy on top. Thank you to you and your dear Yia-Yia for this delicious recipe!
I love it. Delicios!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Made this tonight and it was a winner! Roasted leeks with the zucchini and used fresh thyme and chives. Also used smoked Gruyère instead of the mozzarella. Very easy to make substitutions. Will definitely make this again!
Hi Juju, love all your feedback – they sound delicious!!
I made it and it was wonderful. I used another kind of melty cheese instead of mozzarella because that’s all I had in the house, and I used a couple humongous organic zucchini. I love the quick roasting of the zucchini, which allowed me time to do the prep for the rest of the ingredients and get help from my mom to put it all together!
All in all this is a recipe my mom now says will become her signature dish! Which is actually really exciting because my mom loves cooking chicken and this will be a perfect dish to make to go along with it!
Hi Meg, That’s so awesome that your mom is also loving the recipe! Thanks for turning her onto it and I’m so glad you both enjoyed it!
Hi, Zucchini vary so much in size. Do you have an approximate weight for how much I’ll need?
Hi Linda, I would suggest about 1 pound (give or take some ounces)! It cooks down so you can go a little over the pound if you want!
Délicieux
<3 <3 <3
This is a fabulous recipe as written, but is also so versatile! Many ways to add in other items, and change up the cheeses. I am a feta freak, so that was perfect. I did use a more flavorful cheese for the mozz, though. I had a mix of parmesan, romano and asiago that was awesome in this. I’ll add mushrooms to my roasting pan next time just to change it up a little bit, but like I said, it’s awesome as is!
Hi Deb, sounds like it would also be amazing with the mushrooms! Thanks for trying the recipe and your kind rating!
Made this about a month ago – the first of your recipes I tried – and it was so good! Loved the ease of roasting the zucchini and onions in the oven instead of sautéing!
I love that most all your recipes are low carb!! My hubby’s T1 diabetic and your recipes have so much great flavor don’t spike his bloodsugar 💜
Hi Cheri, thank you so much for the kind review and I’m glad the recipes are working for you and your family <3
💜
Made this tonight. Loved it. Thank you
