🍽️HOW TO MAKE

This recipe is very easy to make, especially if you use a store-bought pie crust. We made our own, but if you want to save time, just use a Pillsbury crust you can roll out.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a skillet, cook bacon, remove from skillet and set aside. In same skillet on medium heat, add zucchini and red onion.

I added extra zucchini slices to the top and sprinkled with pepper.
