Recipe: Zucchini-Crusted Pizza (The Moosewood Cookbook)

ZUCCHINI-CRUSTED PIZZA

FOR THE CRUST:
3 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
salt
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp minced fresh basil (or 1/2 tsp dried)
Ground black pepper (to taste)
FOR THE PIZZA:
Olive oil
Pizza sauce
Desired toppings

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Salt the zucchini lightly and let it sit in a sieve or colander for 15 minutes. Gently squeeze out all the excess moisture.

Combine zucchini with remaining crust ingredients, adding salt and pepper to taste. Spread into an oiled 13x9-inch baking pan.

Bake 20-25 minutes, until the surface is dry and firm.

Brush the top with oil and broil under moderate heat for 5 minutes.

Now add your sauce and other desired toppings.

Heat the pizza in a 350 degree F oven for about 25 minutes. Serve hot.
