This savory pie combines zucchini, leeks, and herbs with a savory cheese mixture, all brought together with eggs and a hint of prosciutto for added depth of flavor. Perfect for a hearty meal, this pie captures the essence of Greek cuisine with its vibrant flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

4 zucchini
800g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 leeks
360g
1 cup feta cheese
230g
1 cup ricotta cheese
230g
1/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1/2 cup dill
72g
1/2 cup parsley
44g
6 eggs
300g
3 slices prosciutto
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 10 minutes, press the zucchini with your hands or a clean cloth to remove the water.
3. Sauté the Leeks:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped leeks and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
4. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sautéed leeks, crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and all-purpose flour. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Herbs and Eggs:
Add the chopped dill, chopped spearmint, and beaten eggs to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
6. Incorporate Prosciutto:
Add the chopped prosciutto to the mixture, folding it in gently.
7. Season:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt since both the feta cheese and prosciutto are salty.
8. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake the Pie:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the pie is set and golden brown on top.
10. Cool and Serve:
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure that the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the pie.

- Chop the leeks finely and cook them until they are soft to prevent any crunchy texture.

- For a stronger flavor, opt for aged feta cheese.

- If you prefer a vegetarian version, simply omit the prosciutto.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs according to your taste preferences.

- Use a well-greased pie dish to prevent sticking and to allow for easy cutting and serving.

- Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing to ensure clean cuts and better cohesion.

Enjoying a slice of this Greek pie is like taking a culinary trip to the Mediterranean. The combination of fresh zucchini, aromatic herbs, and rich cheeses blend beautifully together, while the prosciutto adds a savory note that elevates the entire dish. Whether served as a main course or a side, this pie is sure to be a hit with your family and guests. Kali Orexi (Bon Appetit)!
