By Micki Brown

Serves 6

Ingredients:

6 cups zucchini, grated and excess juice squeezed out

5 free-range eggs, beaten

1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Pizza sauce (recipe below)

Pizza toppings of choice (I use uncured Canadian bacon, mozzarella cheese, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives and pineapple)

Pizza Sauce Ingredients:

1 18.3 ounce jar of organic diced tomatoes

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 tsp garlic, minced

½ tsp sea salt

½ tsp black pepper

Sauce Directions:

Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined. Use desired amount on pizza. 

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, and cheeses. Grease a 17 ½ by 12 ½ inch rimmed baking pan. Place the zucchini mixture into the pan and press it down until it is evenly distributed throughout the pan. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and add desired amount of pizza sauce and toppings of choice. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy.
