Recipe Box, 3 Cheese Zucchini & Corn Pie
Summer produce is one of the best parts of summer,
and I recently filled my fridge with fresh corn and squash, and
my neighbor brought me garden tomatoes and cucumbers
I’m a very happy girl!
I decided to make a corn and zucchini pie
with sweet onion, garlic and 3 cheeses
plus eggs {not pictured} to hold it together
You could almost call it a Frittata…
It’s good for brunch, lunch or a side dish with whatever you’re grilling
Here’s the really good news,
it’s super easy to make!
Saute the onion for 5-6 minutes then add zucchini and corn
Saute the vegetables until zucchini is softened, add garlic and season
Let the mixture cool for 15-20 minutes so the eggs won’t curdle when they’re added
Stir in eggs and grated cheddar and white cheese
Transfer to prepared baking dish
Top with shaved Parmesan
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until set in center
Let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting
Garnish with parsley or fresh basil and enjoy!

3 CHEESE ZUCCHINI & CORN PIE
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 3 ears sweet corn kernels cut from cob
- 2 large zucchini sliced
- Italian seasoning salt & pepper
- 4 oz sharp cheddar grated
- 4 oz sharp white cheddar grated
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 oz. shaved Parmesan
- Chopped parsley or basil to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease or spray a 9” deep pie dish
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, and cook until they begin to brown. Add zucchini and corn. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 more minutes until zucchini softens and starts to brown. Season with a dash of Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Remove from heat and let mixture cool for 15-20 minutes so the hot vegetables don’t curdle the eggs. Beat eggs. Add cheese and eggs to pan. Stir to combine everything. Transfer to prepared dish. Arrange zucchini so the top is level and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes or until set. Let stand a few minutes before cutting.
Notes
Add diced ham, grilled chicken or crispy bacon pieces and 1 more egg for a main dish {It would serve 4} Top with a buttery cracker crumb topping Place filling into a pie crust as for a quiche
Enjoy!

Jenna, I love summer corn and veggies. Your pie looks so delicious! I haven’t had fresh corn yet, I have to get over to our local farm. Did you receive a lot of rain from the storm. Wishing you a lovely Sunday!
Thanks Pam! It really didn’t rain much yesterday, but it’s socked in today, but the winds aren’t bad and I’m going to spend this rainy Sunday with art, books and movies, hoping the rain will diminish quickly after Cristobal makes landfall…
That sounds delicious, and a wonderful meatless meal!
Yes, thanks Carole!
Oh my, this looks so yummy! I love summer because of all the delicious fruits and veggies that are available. I’m going to put this recipe in my file, because zucchini is always a summer vegetable that you have plenty of. Happy Sunday!
Oh good, it’s a nice way to change things up, thank you Shannon!
This might be a good way to get the littles to eat their veg!
Thanks Jeanie, just tell them it’s pie and don’t mention the vegetables 😂
Looks delicious Jenna! Glad your fridge is stocked. Hope your power stays on and you’re tucked in safe and sound from Cristobal. ♥
Thanks Mary, we rarely loose power in storms, everything is underground…sunny but windy this morning, bye Cristobal!
We’re still dreaming about garden tomatoes here in Philly… Enjoy your summer veggies Jenna-take care:@)
Worth the wait!
Yum, Jenna! My picky eater wouldn’t eat that, but that’s okay. I’d eat the whole thing!
Wow, he is a picky eater!! Does he eat any veggies?
Well I have never heard of this dish but I must say it looks DELICIOUS! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
It’s really simple, and yes it’s really good, thanks Cindy!
Food is so much better prepared with fresh vegetables. I have lived in the South, the West, and along the west coast and I never had them as fresh as in the South.
I agree, it makes a huge difference. A pineapple straight from the field in Hawaii tastes so different than the pineapple from the grocery store! I drive by corn fields on the way to the beach and my neighbor gives me zucchini from his garden.
Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 6-8 to 6-12 on my blog. On Tuesday was Salsa Roll Ups. Wednesday saw Stuffed Peppers. Thursday was Basic Marinara Sauce. And winding up this Week was Homemade Beef Stew Seasoning. Enjoy!
