Many people associate the word "cake" with a sweet dessert. However, today I want to destroy this stereotype and offer an unsweetened zucchini pie. Believe me, this is delicious! And thanks to the use of low-calorie ingredients, the food turns out to be dietary and easy for the stomach.
Few people know that zucchini is a type of pumpkin. Therefore, when choosing them, give preference to young, and even immature individuals. Such a vegetable does not need to be peeled from seeds and peels, they have a dense structure and a slightly sweet taste. Although, in general, zucchini do not have a fiercely pronounced smell and taste. Therefore, when preparing them, use spices and aromatic herbs.
A more complex courgette pie can be made to serve for a festive meal. To do this, you need to cut it in half lengthwise, dividing it into two cakes and layering it with something. This can be mayonnaise, tomato rings, grated eggs, fried mushrooms with onions, crab sticks, and other ingredients. Then you will get a real festive not sweet cake.

Making a squash pie with cheese and yogurt
1. Wash the zucchini, pat dry with a towel and grate. Use young rafts as they have more tender flesh. If you are using ripe fruits, then first peel them from the tough peel and scrape off the seeds.
2. Pour flour over the zucchini flakes and pour in the yogurt. You can use semolina instead of flour.
3. Grate the processed cheese and add to the dough. To make it easier to chafe, soak it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Peel the onions, rinse, chop finely and place in a bowl with dough. Season food with salt, a pinch of pepper and any spices. I chose nutmeg and suneli hops.
4. Pour the eggs into the dough.
5. Knead the food to distribute the dough evenly.
6. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil or cover with baking parchment and pour the dough into the baking dish and smooth it out evenly.
7. Heat the oven to 180 ° C and bake the cake for 40 minutes. Then let it cool slightly and remove from the mold. If you get it hot, it can break.
8. Cut the product into portions and serve. If you wish, you can sprinkle the cake with chopped herbs, fried onions or garlic sauce.
