Prepare Zucchini Mixture: In a 10-inch skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and chopped onion, and sauté until tender, which should take around 10 minutes.
-
Seasoning: Stir in the fresh parsley, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring all the flavors meld beautifully.
-
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and shredded mozzarella cheese. Then, fold in the prepared zucchini and onion mixture. Optionally, you can substitute muenster cheese for a unique twist!
-
Prepare Crust: Carefully separate the crescent-roll dough into 8 triangles. Place them in an ungreased 11-inch quiche pan, a 10-inch pie pan, or a 12×8 baking dish. Press the dough over the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
-
Spread Mustard: Evenly spread the Dijon mustard over the prepared crust. This adds a tangy kick that perfectly complements the savory filling.
-
Fill and Bake: Pour the zucchini and cheese mixture into the prepared crust, ensuring it spreads evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
-
Check Crust: Keep an eye on the crust; if it starts to brown too quickly, cover it with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
-
Let it Rest: Once baked to golden perfection, remove the Zucchini Crescent Pie from the oven and allow it to stand for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and ensures easy slicing.
-
Serve and Enjoy: After resting, cut the pie into wedges and serve warm. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, making it an ideal dish for any meal or gathering!
Indulge in the deliciousness of this Zucchini Crescent Pie, a versatile dish that’s sure to become a family favorite. Whether served as a hearty lunch, a satisfying snack, or a crowd-pleasing potluck contribution, this recipe delivers on flavor, simplicity, and satisfaction!
