54 Reviews of Yellow or Zucchini Squash Pie

From: Donna

On Jun 30, 2002

I LOVE this recipe! it is so good! the only thing I would do any different is bake the crust a bit first as the egg and butter sort of made mine not get as crisp as it should, this is easy and delicious and is perfect for summer and all that squash... I made mine with yellow as I have that growing and I am glad that I have alot because I can't wait to make this again, it will be a huge hit at potlucks and bbq's this summer. thanks so much for the recipe.

    My husband and I loved this, and we are not big squash people. My daughter loved it as well, but I still couldn't get the boys to eat it, sorry. I used red onion and a regular store bought pie crust (because I had these on hand) which worked wonderfully. This was very easy to make, and as you can see from my screen name, cooking isn't my favorite thing to do. It was great. Thanks.

    We absolutely loved this recipe! I too baked the crust a little before adding the mixture and had to sub a cup of cheddar cheese for mozzarella (that's all I had)but it was still delicious! I also added a few sprinkles of cheddar on top about 10-15 minutes before I finished baking which left a nice, crunchy topping! Will definitely have this again! Thanks for a great recipe!

    This was very good. Anything this fattening has to taste good! I used zucchini and as the previous reviewer mentioned I baked the crust a little first before filling. I added freshly chopped basil to the filling mixture and topped the pie with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a little paprika. This made a nice lunch entree and was very filling.

    This is definetely the best zucchini pie I've ever tasted! It's gooey and the cheese that oozes when you bite into it is a5{c! MMM, yum yum yum! I followed the recipe to a T, and result is heavenly. But then next time I make this (tomorrow perhaps!?) I'd also add some nutmeg and some more cheese on top. Everybody loved this dish, even the pickest kid in the family!

    This was wonderful. It reminded me of a quiche. I used zucchini and yellow squash. It look so pretty when it came out of the oven. I omitted the oregano and added garlic powder instead. Perfect. As suggested, I pre-baked the crust for 15 minutes. That was a good idea. This was even good refrigerator cold. Thanks for sharing...

    My family really liked this. We thought the crescent rolls just made this recipe. We will be making this many more times. Thanks for posting.

    This was a really tasty dish, but I did make some changes. I used a deep dish pie crust since I had that on hand. Cut WAY back on the butter--to 3 tablespoons--and I thought that was plenty! I mixed zucchini and yellow squash. It was such a pretty dish. Added some parmesan cheese. Next time, will try with the crescent rolls, and maybe sub cheddar cheese as it has more flavor than mozzarella. Great meatless dish to serve with side salad for an easy meal. Not sure it would convert those who don't like squash, but it's definitely a keeper in my book!

    This time of year when squash is plentiful, prompts me to look for new recipes using squash. This is so good and very easy to make. Using packaged crescent rolls, makes a quick & easy crust. I used an egg wash and prebaked the crust about 10 minutes before adding the squash mixture. It kept the crust from getting soggy. I used a five cheese blend instead of the mozzarella. The Dijon mustard, gives it a unique taste, but doesn't distract from the rest of the flavors. I agree with one of the other reviewers in that the next time, I'll use less butter. I used 3/4 of a stick of salted butter, but next time I'll cut that to about half a stick. My husband loved it. He started with "just a little" and came back for seconds. It reheats well in the microwave too.

    This is a truly tasty recipe. Not having any cresent rolls or pastry on hand I decided to use my bread maker and make pizza dough for the crust! It turned out great and we ate it as you would pizza! (some might want to disguise good nutrition past the kids) I think that I might add a can of drained shrimp pieces next time that I make this. I also cut back tremedously on the butter content. Delicious!!!
