CRUNCHY SAVORY ZUCCHINI PIE with puff pastry, no oven, quick and easy with ham and provolone, ready in a few minutes.
The other night I came home late, hungry and with very little desire to cook. Opening the fridge, I saw a roll of puff pastry I had bought “just in case”, some zucchinis to use up and the inevitable slices of ham and provolone. And here’s the idea: a savory pie with zucchini, crunchy outside and stringy inside, ready in a few minutes!
This crunchy savory pie is perfect for dinner, to take to the beach, or to serve as an appetizer at buffets. It’s a quick savory recipe, very easy, with simple ingredients as a fridge-saver. The ready-made puff pastry allows you to prepare it in less than half an hour! I quickly sautéed the zucchinis in a pan, but you can also use them raw if you want an even quicker version.
Great even the next day, maybe to take to work or on a trip. The filling is super versatile: I used cooked ham and provolone, but you can substitute them with whatever you have (speck, mozzarella, various cheeses…).

CRUNCHY SAVORY ZUCCHINI PIE with puff pastry
Can I use puff pastry instead of puff pastry?
Sure! It will be more flaky and puffy, but still delicious.
Can cooked zucchinis be used in the savory pie?
Yes, but they shouldn’t be too watery.
Can I make it in advance?
Yes! It’s great even cold or reheated the next day.
What cheeses can I use instead of provolone?
Mozzarella, scamorza, fontina, or whatever you have in the fridge!
Can it be frozen?
Yes, but puff pastry loses its crunchiness after freezing.
