Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. butter or extra virgin olive oil

- 1/2 large yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced, about 1 tsp.
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. dried basil
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust

- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or use Swiss or Gruyere
Instructions

- Press the pie crust into a pie dish and spread the mustard evenly over the crust.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cheese and zucchini mixture. Pour everything into the pie crust and spread it evenly.

Notes
Do Ahead or Delegate: Slice the zucchini, dice the onion, peel the garlic, combine the dry seasonings, beat and refrigerate the eggs, shred the cheese if necessary and refrigerate, or fully prepare and refrigerate or freeze the pie.
Scramble Flavor Booster: Use Swiss, Gruyere, or another sharp cheese, rather than the mozzarella.
