Zucchini Quiche (Crescent Roll-Recipe)

Submitted by runswithfork

"We fell in love with this recipe back at home... it even trumped pizza! It has similar spices (maybe like a "white pizza") and it's relatively fast and easy! Use smaller zucchini's not the massive garden ones... or pick them small and tender. Fresh herbs change the flavor and you must use more, but go with what you like. Served well with fresh fruit/melon and blueberry muffins. Tea rooms eat your heart out!"

This receipe was a Pillsbury bakeoff award winner in 1980. It is a family favorite since and kids love it! Not very filling, you may want to pair it with a meat dish (or make two). The pie can come out a little soggy if there is excess moisture in it. Make sure you cook it long enough and let it sit the recommended time.

this was great! i used reduced fat smart balance (and lessened the amt), reduced fat crescent rolls, and part skim mozzarella. it was still full of flavor!!! will definitely make this again...oh and i used a pizza tray to bake on so it was thinner and more like a pizza than a quiche. yum!

How perfect is this for summer!! Use everything fresh from the garden. I prefer to use regular mustard, but if you like Dijon, great!
