Italian Zucchini Crescent Pie

Vegetables Recipes | Quickbreads, Coffee Cakes Recipes

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Who can ever have enough recipes for zucchini? This one is easy, delicious, and highly recommended.

  • 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • 4 cups thinly sliced zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or 2 tablespoons dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crescent dinner rolls
  • 2 teaspoons prepared mustard

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the zucchini and onion and saute until the onion is golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, and oregano. Combine the eggs and mozzarella and stir into the zucchini mixture.

Place the crescent rolls in an ungreased 10-inch pie plate. Press over the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Spread the crust with the mustard. Pour the vegetable mixture into the crust. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the center is set. If the crust begins to brown before the center is set, cover with aluminum foil. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

This is terrific! I've taken it to several dinners and everyone always wants the recipe. I've even done a version of it rolling the crescent dough out on a baking stone, brushing olive oil on dough, topping it with same zucchini mixture minus the eggs and mozzerella. Instead sprinkle top with freshly grated parmesan cheese - kind of a zucchini pizza! – Reviewed by Kathy Toth

Actually I have been making this exact recipe for almost 25 years and have never had a disappointed "guest". I have made it for large parties, bridal showers, small cookouts, or just our own family dinner. It has stood the test of time and I was surprised to see it on your site.... – Reviewed by mary ellen forneris
