This simple Bisquick Crustless Zucchini Pie is the easiest dish to throw together and my most requested recipe at every family gathering. It's the best way to showcase that summer zucchini but will work any time of the year.
I really hesitated to put this recipe up because it's just so simple and there are so many variations of it, including Betty Crocker's popular "Impossibly Easy Zucchini Pie". However, this crustless zucchini pie recipe was handed down to me by my great aunt, and I can only assume it was a recipe she used from the back of the box. The problem is, the measurements never seemed right to me (a common issue with those beloved hand-me-downs). The original called for 6 zucchini but never specified the size. After a while, I just started eyeballing how it should look, and eventually just streamlined the recipe so that anyone could follow.
I'll admit too, that I hate using prepared baking mixes- that's just my preference. So I set out to make it without Bisquick, and low and behold, it just NEVER tasted the same. I don't know what magical wizardry is in it, but I now keep a small box on hand just for this recipe.
This crustless zucchini pie is so adaptable and I have tried all sorts of variations -different cheeses, onions, garlic, fresh herbs, feta cheese-you name it. I wanted to make it more "fancy" but whenever I did, my family ALWAYS noticed I snuck something different in it. So here it is- the OG comfort food super popular in my home!
Ingredients
- Zucchini
- Eggs
- Parmesan cheese
- Vegetable oil
- All-purpose baking mix (Bisquick Original)
- Salt and pepper

Top tips
- I have tried slicing and shredding the zucchini. I think it works best shredded since it mixes much better into the batter and yields a moist pie.
- You don't need to squeeze the water out of the zucchini after shredding/grating.
- The recipe calls for Parmesan cheese but pecorino romano will work or you can try a combination of the two.
- You can bake this in a 9-inch pie dish or 8-inch square equivalent. I usually keep it square and pre-cut into squares for serving.

I made this for my birthday dinner and gobbled up four pieces. So easy to make, and even easier to eat. Yum!
Amanda
I hosted Easter dinner and needed something that would be easy to make, but also something that would stand out a little from the standard dishes. This recipe did the trick. I was able to bake it in the morning and then just reheated it when everyone arrived. My one sister who said she hates zucchini told me she took a second helping because it was so good! Will definitely be making this again!
Jennifer
So glad you loved it. It's always on my Easter table too!

I made it with broccoli. I put the broccoli in the microwave for 90 seconds and then chopped it up in very small pieces.
It turned out great. It was a hit at the BBQ!
Jennifer
Ooh broccoli, love that idea!

This is probably my favorite side dish ever. The kids ask for it at every holiday (and it works no matter the season!) I agree, shredding the zucchini seems to work best. So moist! Thank you so much! A keeper.
