2. Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and onions; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and oregano.
  2. In large bowl, combine eggs and cheese; mix well. Add cooked vegetable mixture; stir gently to mix.
  3. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place in ungreased 10-inch pie pan, 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish or 11-inch quiche pan; press over bottom and up sides to form crust. Firmly press perforations to seal. Spread crust with mustard. Pour egg mixture evenly into crust-lined pan.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees F for 18 to 22 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with strips of foil during last 10 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Yield: 6 servings

Whether you have a bounty of zucchini from your garden or you pick up a few from the supermarket, this savory pie is a winner!

    We make this with lowfat cheeses and lowfat crescent rolls - takes the fat intake down to 8g per serving.
    You can always tweek recipes if you maintain a lowfat diet.
    I also add grilled chicken sometimes - yum!

    My family and I really enjoyed this.With the one exception of one child...picky eater! It\'s also a meal that you can get the kids involved in making. We make it ahead of time before the kids games and when we come home just bake and eat....We sometimes add grilled chicken to it.

  • GET REAL!!

    aladdin_jack - September 8, 2008 02:02:07 PM PST
    This is for "riaur2000". In answer to your question, "Who\'s going eat this"? I am; along with my family. I would bet that the majority of normal, average people out there eat meals like this alot. It\'s the ones that don\'t keep active, and keep their kids active that have weight issues. My family "LOVES" regular food that actually has taste to it; I make sure my ten-year-old daughter and myself stay active; walking, biking 3-4 times a week, etc. My Dad raised his family with a large Cattle/wheat operation. No Vegans at my house!!
