Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to incorporate into the pie filling.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the crescent dough: This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Preheat the oven before baking the pie: This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the filling from running out of the pie.

Conclusion:

Zucchini crescent pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal.
