1/4 to 1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. parsley (or 2 tbsp. parsley flakes)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper

2 eggs, well beaten
8 oz. Mozzarella or Muenster cheese, shredded

Stir in vegetable mixture. Separate crescent rolls into 8 triangles. Place in ungreased 10 inch pie pan, 12 x 8 inch baking dish or 11 inch quiche pan. Press over bottom and up sides to form crust. Spread mustard over crust. Pour vegetable mixture evenly into crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
