Zucchini Deep Dish Pie from Pampered Chef

Crust

1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Filling

4 cups thinly sliced zucchini (3-4 small)
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
2 eggs
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. For crust, unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles. Arrange evenly in Deep Dish Baker with points toward the center. Using lightly floured Baker's Roller™, roll dough over bottom to seal seams. Press dough halfway up sides to form a crust. Spread mustard over bottom of crust.

2. For filling, slice zucchini using Ultimate Slice & Grate fitted with adjustable thin slicing blade. Coarsely chop onion using Food Chopper. Melt butter in Family (12-in.) Skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir zucchini, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from heat; stir in parsley.

3. Whisk eggs in Classic Batter Bowl. Stir in cheese. Add vegetable mixture; mix well. Pour vegetable mixture over crust, spreading evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes or until center is set and crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges to serve.
