Looking for a creative way to use up the overflow of zucchini from your garden?! Give this Zucchini Pie a try!

  • 1 tube (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbs. Tillamook butter
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp. snipped fresh dill
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 ¼ cup grated Tillamook Pepper Jack cheese (divided)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in a greased 9-inch pie plate with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of plate to form a crust; seal perforations.

In a skillet, sauté zucchini and garlic in butter. Add the parsley, dill, salt, pepper and ½ cup cheese.

Spoon into the crust. Pour eggs over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover edges loosely with foil.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 6 servings.

For a lighter version, turn your pie into a frittata! Remove the crescent rolls from the recipe and add your vegetable and egg mixture directly to a well-greased pan and bake as instructed.
