I love finding new ways to eat my vegetables.

Each slice packs a nutritional punch, loaded with vitamins from zucchini and protein from eggs, without the heavy flour or biscuit mix that most traditional recipes require. The result is a light and easy to digest meal, perfect for anytime of the day!

Flourless Zucchini Pie
Fills one 9-inch pan

Ingredients:

3 cups shredded zucchini (about 3 medium squashes)
2 whole eggs
3 oz. raw goat cheddar, shredded
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350F and grease a 9″ pie pan generously with butter.

After shredding the zucchini (I used a salad shooter to make the process go quickly), you’ll want to squeeze it well in a thin dishtowel, to remove any excess moisture. spiralized zucchini noodles

You should be able to squeeze out at least a couple tablespoons worth of liquid.

In a medium bowl, combine the drained zucchini with the rest of the ingredients, and mix until well combined. Transfer the mixture to the greased pie pan, and smooth the top with a spatula.

Allow to set in the pan for 5 minutes, then slice and serve while it’s still hot!

I’d recommend dividing this pie into 4-6 large slices, depending on your appetite.

Alternatively, you could also bake these in a mini-muffin pan for mini quiche bites! (I found that they are harder to remove from the pan this way– make sure to grease well!!) Reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes at 350F.

Enjoy!

Note: If you’d like to vary the veggies used in this dish, I’ve also had success using 1 cup strained cauliflower rice and 2 cups strained zucchini. I think any mix should work, as long as you keep the overall ratio to 3 cups of drained veggies.

  1. I can’t get goat cheese, but can’t eat regular cheese. Can I leave it out or will it mess the recipe up? I really want to try it… Looks delicious!!

  2. Hi, Megan!
    Love your recipes!

    Do you think it can be made vegan by substituting the eggs by chia or flax eggs?

    Once I tried substituting in one of your recipes and only later, when the muffins were already in the oven, I read that on that recipe the substitution wasn’t going to be ok. Turns out you were right XD

    1. I don’t think flax eggs would be a good idea for this recipe, either, though I can’t be sure since I haven’t tried it myself! I think you’d need to add some sort of flour or starch to make the pie stick together without eggs, so it would end up being a completely different recipe.

    1. I didn’t salt the zucchini beforehand, but that would probably help release more moisture! And yes, I used onion powder instead of fresh onion to keep the moisture content lower.

  3. Was looking for a way to use up excess zucchini – this is perfect! I’m going to try it with Daiya, since I don’t tolerate any dairy well.

  4. Hi,

    I noticed the recipe calls for raw cheese. If the cheese will be cooked in the baking process, would it be fine to use pasteurized cheese? Is there a benefit to baking with raw cheese? Thanks!

  5. These were really good! I used dried zucchini that I had dried myself last summer and stored.. I added 1 extra egg, and the end result was a little chewier than it would’ve been I think but it was still good. Obviously, it is best if you follow her directions exactly but it made a great breakfast nonetheless and I’ll be repeating this recipe! I love how detoxinista always has basic recipes that use a variety of different foods.
