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.

Zucchini Brunch Pie Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

4 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups (8 ounces) 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

Directions

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 near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8 servings.
