This is one of my favourite savoury cakes which makes me think of Italy and the hot summer in Puglia, especially because of the aroma of the fresh mint in it.
it is also an incredibly versatile pie! It can be the perfect addition to your picnic, a great showstopper on your party table or the best make ahead meal for your or your kids’ lunchbox.
You can also freeze it already cooked which makes it so convenient!
i love that it’s crunchy outside and soft inside.
if you love zucchini and savoury cakes, you need to try this combo, you won’t be disappointed. it’s really delicious!

Put measurements in American. Not fun to have to look them up.
I make something very similar to this...its called Zucchini quiche !! You leave out the mint and flour, and in place of the flour you use Bisquik...
