For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil in its place. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Gruyere or provolone, for a different flavor profile. Fresh herbs elevate the flavor of this dish, so don't hesitate to add more dill or parsley to your liking. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, ensure the zucchini mixture is not overly moist before adding it to the pie crust.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325°F (165°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPress pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
03
StepBlind bake the pie crust until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
04
StepCook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
05
StepAdd zucchini, mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet with the reserved bacon drippings. Season with Italian seasoning, dill, parsley, garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
06
StepChop the cooked bacon and stir it into the zucchini mixture.
07
StepSprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Spoon the zucchini-bacon mixture over the cheese. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the zucchini mixture, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
08
StepPlace the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the filling is set, about 30-35 minutes.
