Ingredients

  • 1 Pie shell, unbaked
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard
  • 2 Medium zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds (should resemble pickle chips)
  • 1 cup Onion, minced Minced is very small pieces, much smaller than diced or chopped!
  • 2 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 Eggs
  • 8 oz Muenster cheese, shredded
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.  Spread the mustard on the bottom and sides of pie crust.
  • Saute the onion in butter until soft.  Add zucchini slices and saute until softened.  Drain the onion/zucchini mixture and add to pie crust.  NOTE:  Draining the onion/zucchini mixture is very important as this keeps the bottom of the pie crust from getting too soft.
  • In a bowl, slightly beat the eggs then add the cheese and seasonings.  Pour over the onion and zucchini.  Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.

Notes

(or bake in a casserole dish for a crustless zucchini pie)
