“One of my mother’s many recipes designed to take advantage of bountiful zucchini, this pie is inexpensive, nutritious, tasty, filling—and so easy," says Susan Davis of Ann Arbor, Michigan. "Refrigerated crescent rolls and cooked ham cut prep time but not taste. My family loves it!”

  • 6 Servings
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise and quartered
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1 medium Roma tomato, thinly sliced

Directions

  • Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in a greased 9-in. pie plate with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust; seal seams and perforations. Bake at 375° for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute zucchini and onion in butter until tender; stir in seasonings. Spoon into crust. Combine the eggs, cheese and ham; pour over zucchini mixture. Top with tomato slices.
  • Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.

I liked the zucchini pie but I added 4 eggs so it was more like quiche.

Pre-made pie crusts may be easier but they are high in fat and calories. At least with crescent rolls you can choose to use the reduced fat version if you want to.

Why not use a pre-made pie crust? Then you wouldn't have so much dough hanging over the pie plate. And there would not be any handling of the crust dough.

I agree, it looks good, but I need nutritional info! Thanks
