I make those sometimes when I have a bunch of fresh vegetables that need a good home -- any combination of vegetables & any kind of cheese will do. My mom never made the "impossible pie" recipes because those didn't show up until I was an adult, but she would have loved them because they're quick & easy & versatile. Yes! It is very similar to that recipe. You'll find the version of it on the same betty crocker dot com site called Impossibly Easy Zucchini pie: Ingredients 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini 1 cup chopped tomato (JTMacc's note: I use JUST zucchini, and probably closer to 3 cups than two.) 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2/3 cup Bisquick Heart Smart® mix 3/4 cup fat-free (skim) milk 2 eggs or 1/2 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Steps 1 Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease bottom and side of pie plate, 9x1 1/4 inches. 2 Sprinkle zucchini, tomato, onion and cheese evenly in pie plate. 3 Stir together remaining ingredients with fork until blended. Pour evenly into pie plate. 4 Bake about 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool at least 10 minutes. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11962-what-did-we-eat-today/page/79/#findComment-3598847

JTMacc99 August 31, 2017 Share August 31, 2017 I have one recommendation. Don't go with grated for the zucchini. It makes it too mushy. I much prefer running it through the mandoline, and depending on how big the squash was to start, cutting it in half or in quarters length wise before doing so.

Quof August 31, 2017 Share August 31, 2017 See, that's a quiche. As one who loathes eggs, I find a lot of recipes that claim to be for pies are really just "eggs holding together other ingredients in a pie shell." Don't get me started on the gentleman caller who offered to make me an omelet for breakfast, I thanked him very politely but said that I don't like eggs.

Not that they knew what it meant. Come to think of it, that's probably why I used the word quiche. It threw them off any possible path of declaring they won't like it. Zucchini Pie leaves the door open for them to use those two words and concoct a reason they won't like it. Quiche, on the other hand, gave them nothing to work with. And since it smelled good while it was cooking, they gave quiche a chance. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11962-what-did-we-eat-today/page/79/#findComment-3599659
