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.
