Zucchini Pie

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 24 cm pan with a little of the oil and dust it with the breadcrumbs.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking pan

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Grate the vegetables on a 1 minute grater and squeeze out the liquid well.

   Grater

   💡Grated vegetables (zucchini, squash, potatoes) are full of water: squeeze them in your palm or in a towel before mixing with the eggs, so the pie doesn't come out watery.
3. 3
   Mix the Bulgarian cheese and eggs until smooth.
4. 4
   Add half of the yellow cheese and mix.
5. 5
   Add the vegetables and salt and mix.
6. 6

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
9. 9
   Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

   💡Resting before cutting sets the pie: cut straight out of the oven, it is still soft inside and the slices fall apart.
