Zucchini Pie

Ok, so this is a 'family recipe' from my mom's side...I could be in trouble for sharing our secret, but since mostly family and friends read this I'm going to take my chances ;) . This is definitely one of our favorites. It is pretty much a quiche, but my Grandpa Brochard didn't want to seem to "femme" so he would say it was a pie.

Ingredients:
3 to 4 cups of sliced zucchini, 1/4" thick or less
1 cup chopped onions
6 tblsp of margarine (or butter or olive oil)
1/2 cup fresh parsley or 2 tbs of parsley flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp crushed garlic
2 eggs
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package of Pillsbury crescent dough (8 pk)

In a large saucepan melt margarine. Saute zucchini, onions, parsley, salt, peper, basil, oregano, and garlic in margarine until zucchini is soft and opaque (not clear). Drain off most of liquid leaving just a little. Ina seperate bowl slightly beat 2 eggs, add mozzarella and mix. Pour into saucepan with zucchini mixture. Line 8' x8' square Pyrex dish or metal pan with crescent dough by placing 2 rectangeles in the bottom, and slicing 2 rectangles in half the long way to line th esides. Pour in zucchini mixture and bake for 20 minutes covered in a 375 degree oven. Remove foil, if crescent dough is golden brown it is done, if not place in oven another few minutes.

Enjoy!
