Easy Vegetable Cheese Pie Recipe with homemade crust

This is an easy to make a Vegetable cheese pie recipe with a homemade crust. There are no eggs in this recipe so it is not like a quiche. It does have three different types of cheese and yogurt in it so it is rich and creamy in a flaky crust filled to the brim with vegetables. It kind of reminds me of pot pies only better!

I love this recipe because you can use different vegetables if you don’t like zucchini. I call this a yummy comfort food perfect for a fall dinner or brunch.

Vegetable cheese pie is something I have always enjoyed.

What could be better? 

Easy Vegetable Pie Ingredients

I made this vegetable cheese pie using zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes and onions for the filling. You could even use, spinach or sweet potatoes too.Topped with cheddar jack and provolone cheese mixed with plain greek yogurt and a little mayo.

Fresh basil and a few other seasonings.

Plus shredded parmesan cheese over the top!

So scrumptious!

Grandma Billie’s Pie crust

I started with my grandma Billie’s flaky crust recipe! Grandma was known for her pies and I think this crust recipe was the secret! 

I made my pie crust in my Cuisinart with simple ingredients of flour, some crisco, butter, a pinch of salt and ice water.

Ice water and cold crisco and butter are key tips. You could make it like she used to by mixing it with two knives in a bowl. 

Also do not over mix it or handle it too much with your hands. It can make it tough. 

Just mix it until comes together.

I use my Silicone mat to roll out my pie crusts and cookie dough. 

Sprinkle with some flour so the pie dough won’t stick.

Using a rolling pin, roll it out pretty thin. Not too thin or it will rip and tear.

One you roll it out use your pie pan to make sure it’s a little larger than the pie pan. You wan to make sure you will have enough dough to go down into the pie pan.

Plus enough to to make a pretty edge to your pie.

I use this pie dough for all my pies sweet or savory.

Roll the pie dough on the rolling pin and lay it in the pie pan.

Crimp the edges by laying your thumb and pointer finger on the edge of the pie, and using your pointer finger on your other hand to pull in the dough between the other two fingers.

Pre bake pie crust at 350 for 10 min. Let cool for 20 min. 

Prepare the vegetable mixture for the cheese pie

Slice tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and let drain in colander for 10 min.

After 10 min blot with paper towel. You don’t want soggy tomatoes. 

Slice zucchini, yellow squash and onions. This is such a great way to use fresh vegetables from your garden or grocery store.

Sauté in a hot frying pan on medium high heat with a little oil until veggies are translucent and turning a golden color. About 5-6 min. 

Filling the pie shell

Layer the pie crust with drained tomatoes, then add sautéed vegetables in the pie shell.

Using scissors cut pieces of basil and sprinkle over the top of the vegetables.

I wish you could smell the sauteed veggies and the fresh basil right now!

Cheese and yogurt topping

Mix the grated cheeses, yogurt, mayo and seasonings, spread this mixture over the top of the pie. This makes a cheesy sauce inside the pie.

Spread cheese mixture all over the top.

Sprinkle shredded Parmesan over the top and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 30 min. or until golden in color.

To Serve

Let vegetable cheese pie cool a bit to set. I did not let it cool enough and it fell apart when I cut it.

Once cooled for about 10 min or so cut slices and serve! This pie is great served at room temperature too.

This vegetable pie is perfect served as main course and would be fabulous served with a simple green salad or fruit salad.
