Summer Squash Pie

After our day at the beach, we came home to make this delicious Summer Squash Pie.














It starts with a crust made from Pillsbury croissant roll dough, browned in the oven.










Brushed with dijon mustard.











The recipe calls for thinly sliced yellow squash, but we found these yellow zucchini at the Canadian Superstore.










Sauteed with garlic and onion.














Chopped up parsley and basil. Turns out I don't actually have dried thyme and oregano so we just used the fresh herbs on hand.
You can see two of our bananas looking on as the herbs were chopped...and one taking a nap, below.











Mixed together with the eggs, milk, and herbs, then poured into the crust.

25 minutes later, we had it with a small (bagged) salad and sliced tomatoes, and made a simple dijon/balsamic/oil dressing. Verdict: it's delicious! Mine needed 25 minutes. Great with the salad.
