I drove from Elkhart Indiana to Ann Arbor Michigan and took the back roads through Amish farm country and corn fields. I realized how much I love it and yet I would be bored out of my mind if I still lived here. All that corn reminded me of this Cheesy Spicy Zucchini and Corn Pie that I made a few weeks ago.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter

1 small onion, diced

2 ears sweet corn or 1½ cups frozen corn

2 large zucchini, thinly sliced, about 4 cups

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

12 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded or you can use cheddar

4 eggs, beaten

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375° F.

2Heat the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and jalapeño. While the vegetables sauté, cut the corn kernels off the cob. Add them to the pan and continue to sauté until the vegetables are soft, 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

3Once the mixture has cooled for a few minutes, stir in the basil, oregano, salt, cheese, and the beaten egg. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper or just grease a pan with nonstick spray. Transfer the mixture to the pan. Make sure you put foil underneath to catch any drips. Cover with greased foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before cutting into slices. It will look a little watery around the edges.
