That recipe reminds me of one I had for a zucchini-cheese pie. I found it years ago in a magazine. It had won $40,000 in a Pillsbury bake-off and I couldn't figure out how any recipe could be worth $40.000, so I decided to make it. It is out of this world!!!! For the crust you roll out biscuit mix and put it in a pie plate, and then smear mustard all over the crust before you fill it. It is sooooo good! I used to make it all the time and I can't believe I LOST THE RECIPE!!!!!!!Gloria
