You can enjoy all the flavors of the garden in this delicious Vegetable Pie recipe that I adapted from my popular Tomato Pie. I love how quick and easy it is to prepare, and the warm cheesy topping takes it to comfort food level, deliciousness! My kids devour this one, and I can feel good that it’s loaded with fresh veggies.

How to make Vegetable Pie:

Gather Ingredients: This recipe is easily adaptable, so use whatever veggies you like or have on hand! Chopped broccoli, asparagus, spinach, bell pepper, and mushrooms would all taste great. Sauté them as directed in step 2. You could also substitute plain greek yogurt for the mayonnaise.

The ingredients needed to make Vegetable Pie.

Prep tomatoes by placing the slices in a colander in the sink in 1 layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for 10 minutes. Use a paper towel to pat-dry the tomatoes and make sure most of the excess juice is out. (You don’t want very wet tomatoes or your pie will turn out soggy).

Sauté zucchini and squash in a large skillet on medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper and sauté in a single layer for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel.

Assemble pie: Layer the tomato slices, zucchini, squash, and onion on the bottom of the pie shell. Sprinkle basil on top.

Cheese Topping: Combine the grated cheeses and mayonnaise together. Smooth cheese mixture over the top and then sprinkle on parmesan cheese.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into slices and serve warm.

Make Ahead Instructions:

To Make Ahead: The squash, zucchini, and onion may be sliced up to one day ahead of time. The cheese spread may also be made ahead and kept in the fridge.

To Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing this recipe because the vegetables may make the crust soggy when it thaws, and the mayo in the topping doesn’t freeze well. You may use a frozen, thawed pre-baked pie shell, to save time.

    This pie is absolutely delicious and easy to make! I will be adding it into my regular rotation of meals.

    1. Yes, sure–but I would add it in addition to the basil, so you still get the wonderful fresh basil flavor!

  2. 4 stars
    Made for dinner last night. Was yum and filling. Cut way back on cheese and instead of mayo topping used some yogurt/mayo based ranch dip I made from scratch earlier in the week. I think it lightened the dish up. Even so, it was all we had for dinner and it was so packed with squash, peppers, and tomatoes from the garden it was all we needed.

  3. I was thinking of making this and giving it to a friend, but wouldn’t be able to give it to her until the next day. Does it reheat well? Thx!

    1. I think it’s best the same day–only because the bottom of the pie crust could begin to get soggy while it sits in the fridge overnight, from all the moisture from the baked vegetables.

    I made this last night and it is a huge hit! Loved the fresh vegetables and all the cheese! Due to a gluten intolerance, I made it with out the crust. Didn’t miss it! Will make a bit of pasta next time to serve with the veggies. I didn’t mind it having the liquid from the veggies. Makes it’s own light sauce. Will definitely be making it again!

  5. I love this recipe! I found it on Pinterest a few years ago and have made several pies throughout each summer. Thanks for sharing this!

  6. family does not like tomato,s could thinly sliced eggplant be used as a base also could sliced mushrooms be added ????
