I made this recipe for dinner last night. It pairs so well with the fresh corn on the cob and tomatoes available everywhere right now in New England. I originally created this recipe years and years ago based on a zucchini pie that won the Pillsbury contest. Other than still using the crescent roll crust the ingredients have changed dramatically.
