ITALIAN ZUCCHINI PIE 
4 c. thinly sliced, unpeeled zucchini
1 c. coarsely chopped onion
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. chopped parsley or 2 tbsp. parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. sweet basil leaves
1/4 tsp. oregano leaves
2 eggs, well beaten
8 oz. (2 c.) shredded Muenster or mozzarella cheese
1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 tsp. Dijon or prepared mustard

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In 10 inch skillet, cook zucchini and onion in butter until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and seasoning.

In large bowl, blend eggs and cheese. Stir in vegetable mixture. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place in ungreased 11 inch quiche pan, 10 inch pie pan or 12 x 8 inch baking dish; press over bottom and up sides to form crust. Spread crust with mustard. Pour vegetable mixture evenly into crust. Bake in 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. If crust becomes too brown, cover with foil during last 10 minutes of baking, let stand 10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and serve hot. Makes enough for 6.
