1/2 onion minced
1 zucchini chopped
1 yellow squash chopped
1 pound turkey bacon chopped
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

8 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup milk

1 pack soda crackers
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 stick butter melted

Place the crackers in a food processor and grind to a fine powder. Place in a medium mixing bowl and combine the bread crumbs, cheese and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Place this in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. In a large heavy bottom skillet cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Place in a bowl and set aside. Place the onions, zucchini and squash in the same pan and drizzle with olive oil and add seasonings. Let cook for 7 minutes then stir in the broccoli. Let this cook for another 5 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking beat together the eggs, sour cream, Parmesan, Monterey Jack cheese and milk. Take out your crust and fill with the vegetables then pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables being sure that it goes through the vegetables to the bottom. Place in a 375 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through. For more on this recipe or any others please email me at alesia.leach@gmail.com
