Zucchini Brunch Pie image

After visiting our parents in the country one time, we came home laden with boxes of fresh vegetables. I shared them with a neighbor, who in turn shared this recipe with me. It has become one of our favorites-both to look at and to taste.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley or 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 teaspoons prepared mustard

Steps:

  • In a skillet, saute zucchini and onion in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Stir in eggs, cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil. Separate the crescent rolls and press into a greased 10-in. pie plate to form a crust. Brush crust with mustard. Spoon zucchini mixture into crust. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Cover loosely with foil to prevent excess browning. Bake another 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
