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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spread the prepared yellow mustard evenly over the dough to create a thin layer at the base of the crust.

Step 7

Pour the zucchini and cheese mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
