Recipe Ingredients:

1 (8-ounce) container refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced zucchini
1 cup chopped onion
1 (4-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.
3. Separate crescent rolls into eight triangles and arrange in the pie dish with points toward center. Press to seal seams.
4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter (or heat oil if using oil); add the zucchini, onions and mushrooms, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, Italian seasoning and mustard; beat to mix.
6. Add vegetables to egg mixture, mixing thoroughly; pour over crust.
7. Bake pie until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Makes 5 servings.
