Zucchini pie with cheese and herbs is a delicate and aromatic dish of Armenian cuisine that combines the freshness of summer vegetables with the rich flavor of cheese. Zucchini adds juiciness to the pie, while Parmesan adds a tangy note. Herbs like parsley, dill, and mint enrich the taste with refreshing tones. The use of eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs gives the pie a soft yet dense texture, while baked cherry tomatoes decorate it with vibrant colors. This pie is perfect as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to a light salad. It can be served warm or chilled, making it a versatile treat for any occasion.
