  • sliced mushrooms, and\/or asparagus, and\/or spinach, shredded carrots, and\/or other vegetables<\/span> (optional)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> cup<\/span> chopped onion<\/span> or thinly sliced leeks (more than a cup)<\/span><\/li>
  • sausage<\/span> Sweet Italian, meat or plant-based, or ground turkey (optional)<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> garlic powder<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> cup<\/span> chopped fresh parsley or 2 tablespoons dried<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> dried basil<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> dried oregano<\/span><\/li>
  • Italian seasoning<\/span> could use in place of parsley, basil, and oregano (optional)<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> pepper<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> eggs<\/span> beaten<\/span><\/li>
  • 8<\/span> ounces<\/span> Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese<\/span> shredded (2 cups, or more)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> (8oz) can<\/span> crescent dinner rolls<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> teaspoons<\/span> prepared mustard<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>
    • NOTE: Before you begin, it's best to place the zucchini slices in a colander over the sink or a large bowl. Shake a little salt over the zucchini, then toss a few times in the colander to coat. Allow the zucchini to drain for an hour before proceeding. This will remove excess moisture from the zucchini and give you a better result in the final dish.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Precook the sausage, if using.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • In a large skillet, melt the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini and onion (and other vegetables, if using), and saut\u00e9 until the onion is golden, about 10 minutes. Add the sausage, if using. Remove from the heat.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Stir in the parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil, and oregano. Combine the eggs and cheese, and stir into the zucchini mixture. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Place the crescent roll dough into an ungreased 10-inch pie plate. Spray the pie plate with cooking spray, for easier cleanup. Press over the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Spread the crust with the mustard. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Pre-bake the crust in the 375\u2109 oven for 10 minutes.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Pour the vegetable mixture into the crust. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the center is set. If the crust begins to brown before the center is set, cover with aluminum foil.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
