Sweet Corn and Zucchini Pie

When zucchini and sweet corn are in season, this is a great side dish. From "Taste of Yum", this crustless pie is cheesy and delicious.


Ingredients

4 Tablespoons butter
1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
2 ears of corn
2 zucchini, sliced very thin - about 2 cups
8 ounces sliced white button mushrooms
1/3 cup fresh basil, sliced thin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp salt
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
6 ounces shredded swiss cheese
4 eggs, beaten


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Heat butter in large skillet. Add onions, zucchini and mushrooms. As they vegetables saute, slice the corn off of the cobs and add corn kernels to skillet. Saute until vegetables are softened and lightly browned. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Once the mixture has partially cooled, add basil, oregano and salt. Then add cheese (reserving a small amount for the top) and eggs. Stir to combine.
Grease a pie pan (9 inch or larger) with nonstick spray.  Transfer the mixture to the pie pan. Arrange some pieces of zucchini on top so that some zucchini slices lay flat for a nice presentation.  Top with reserved cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, covered with greased foil. After 20 minutes, remove foil and bake 5 minutes longer to brown on top. Let stand 10 - 15 minutes before cutting into slices.
