Ingredients

3 Yellow Squash, Sliced

1/8 teaspoon Lemon Pepper

1 small Onion, Sliced

4 Strips of Fried Bacon, Crumbled

2 Roma Tomatoes, Chopped

1 cup Gouda Cheese, Grated

1/2 cup Monterrey Jack Cheese, Grated

1/4 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

3/4 cup Carnation Milk

1 Egg, Slightly Beaten

1/8 teaspoon Basil

Dash of Thyme

Salt and Pepper to Taste

1 Clove Garlic, Chopped (Opt.)

2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Light)

2 tablespoons Butter

2 Drops of Tabasco Sauce

9 inches Prepared Pie Crust

Preparation

Saute squash, onion, lemon pepper, salt, basil, and garlic in oil and butter until almost tender; add chopped tomatoes and parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, combine slightly beaten egg, milk, Tabasco sauce, Gouda and Monterrey Jack Cheese in a bowl; set aside. Precook prepared pie crust about 6 minutes @ 425 degrees. Pour squash mixture into crust. Slowly pour egg and cheese mixture on top of squash. Add crumbled bacon. Bake at 350 degrees 30 - 40 minutes until pie is set. You may need to cover crust edges with a metal crust rim or foil to prevent over browning. Cool slightly before slicing.
