Easy Zucchini Feta Pie (Kolokithopita)
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.

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!
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.
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?
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!

Hi Alice! LOVE the leek, fennel, spinach and sausage upgrade to this dish! Thank you for your review!
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!!
