Zucchini Onion Pie Recipe
3 eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup biscuit/baking mix
1 small onion, chopped
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. Stir in the zucchini, baking mix and onion. Pour into a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake at 350° for 25-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 6 servings.
I didn't have zucchini but I had yellow squash to use up.
I didn't have 3 cups of squash though, so I substituted broccoli to make up the difference.
I didn't have garlic.
I didn't have parsley.
I didn't have canola oil, but I did have vegetable oil.
I had parmesan cheese but not quite 1 cup. I added pimento-cheddar cheese I needed to use up to make the difference.
I didn't have biscuit/baking mix but I had pancake mix ("Just add water!") so I used that.
I forgot the eggs.
I made so many substantive changes that I don't think I can quite call what came out as "Zucchini Onion Pie," but it sure was tasty!

Ooo, is that a sun beam I see in the header. I love those :)
ReplyDeletethanks Carolyn! Anonymous, it is a sun dog! Cool, huh! It was accompanied by two halos, one on one side of the sun and another with its own sun dog on the other.
ReplyDeleteI saw it while on recess duty, and I ran to get my camera. They were so low, and so big that I had to lie down on the ground and shoot up. Even at that, I could only get one halo in the photo at a time.
All the kids were laughing and amazed, yelling, "Mrs Prata! Why are you on the ground!!
Hey Elizbeth, anon beat me to it - I love your new header! I also like the blue font for your titles of each blog post.
