Ingredients
  

3 Cheese Zucchini Pie

  • 1 large zucchini halved and sliced
  • 1/2 large sweet onion chopped
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 4 cups fresh Brussels sprouts
  • 1 ear corn cooked, and kernels removed*
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1-2 oz grated Parmesan
  • 1-2 oz grated or small pieces Swiss cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 T butter
  • 1 T olive oil plus more for drizzling on sprouts
  • salt & pepper

Ritz Cracke & Sesame Seed Crust

  • 8 T butter
  • 2 cups Ritz cracker crumbs
  • 2 T sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet on medium heat, watching closely. Shake pan every minute or so to toss and turn seeds. Remove from heat when seeds start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Make cracker crust by melting the butter in a glass pie dish.
  • Crush crackers in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin or your hands. Add sesame seeds to cracker crumbs and put into melted butter in pan.
  • Using your fingers, mix the crumbs and butter and pat into a crust on the bottom and up sides of pan. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Cut off bottom of sprouts and then cut sprouts in half.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay bacon strips on paper, leaving space between strips. Place sprouts in the spaces between bacon strips, drizzle with olive oil & season with salt and pepper.
  • Place pan in a 400 degree oven and cook for 15 minutes. Check. Continue baking until bacon is cooked through and crisp. Remove pan from oven and drain bacon and sprouts on paper towels.
  • While sprouts and bacon are cooking, put onions in a large skillet with 1 T butter and olive oil.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 more minutes until zucchini is soft and starting to brown.
  • Add corn kernels. Add Brussels sprouts and bacon torn into pieces. Stir to combine.
  • Stir in 1 cup cheddar cheese. Place mixture in baked crust. Top with Parmesan and Swiss. This can be covered and refrigerated at this point until baking later.
  • Beat eggs and season with salt & pepper. Pour over vegetable mixture. Bake at 375 degrees 35-40 minutes or until set in the middle. Let sit 5-10 minutes before cutting.
