Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (thinly sliced) zucchini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup (chopped) onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 package (8-ounce) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the sliced zucchini and chopped onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Stir in the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Add the cooled zucchini mixture and mix until well combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie pan or similar baking dish to form the crust. Seal any perforations in the dough by pinching them together.
Spread the prepared yellow mustard evenly over the dough to create a thin layer at the base of the crust.
Pour the zucchini and cheese mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
