“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!”

Zucchini Crescent Pie Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 6 Servings
25 20 45

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.

Tasty! I didn't put tomatoes on the top, and added bacon instead of ham, and it was delicious!

I was pleasantly surprised my family enjoyed this recipe. Do follow some of the advice...drain the butter and I only used 2 TBSP. I also used 3 eggs, bacon instead of ham and wasn't sure on the zucchini so I went with 1 fairly good size. I also just used a regular garden tomato and certainly will be making this recipe again..I'm thinking the next one I'll use broccoli in place of the zucchini.

I have made this recipe for years, minus the ham and tomato.What a great addition this will be to an already wonderful recipe. I have also made it in an 8x8 pan, cut in small squares and used it for an appetizer. Delicious!!!

Lots of flavor here! My husband almost ate the whole pie! A few subs... I used bacon instead of ham, just preference, and italian cheese blend instead of mozzarella. Next time I will dice more tomato and sprinkle on top. This is a keeper!

Excellent recipe!

I thought this was very good. Next time I will omit the ham since I don't really think it added anything. Also, I will use a larger pie dish, my sauce spilled over onto the oven. Overall, very good.

It is wonderful. The one thing I changed was in place of all the cheeses. I used Sargento (Bistro blends,Italian Pasta Cheese with Authentic Italian Herbs.) I will be making it again on this Wed. and again on Sunday both days for potlucks.
