This is one of my quickest and best pies.
It takes just a few minutes to prepare,
and it accompanies me for a long time throughout the week.
It’s the perfect pie for a moment of hunger,
or a need for a light, quick, and good meal.
You can make it each time with a different vegetable,
or with any addition, seasoning, and cheese you like,
creating many wonderful bites.
This time I made it with grated zucchini,
but it will work wonderfully with grated sweet potato, carrot, and even with fried onions and sautéed mushrooms.
Any combination you choose will work,
and it will become the comforting,
satisfying,
and soothing bite of the week.
A few minutes of preparation and it’s yours.
Enjoy 🙂
Happy days to all of us.

Ingredients
Suitable for a 20x30 cm rectangular pan or a 26 cm round pan:
● 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about two zucchinis) (alternatives in “A Little More From
Me”)
● 250 grams cottage cheese (for a pareve version, see “A Little More From Me”)
● 1 cup quick or rolled oats (alternatives in “A Little More From Me”)
● 3 eggs
● 1 teaspoon salt
● 1 teaspoon baking powder
● A bit of sesame seeds on top
● Optional: 1 cup grated mozzarella or yellow cheese (can also sprinkle some on top
before baking)
● Thyme or any seasoning you like
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C, preferably in convection mode but not necessary.
Grate the zucchini using the coarse side of the grater and transfer to a bowl.
Add the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, salt, baking powder, cheese, and thyme to the bowl and mix everything. Transfer the pie mixture to a baking pan and flatten it with a spatula or spoon. Sprinkle sesame seeds or cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, cut, and serve 🙂
