Zucchini Crusted Pizza
(From Moosewood Cookbook)
An old high school friend of mine runs an organic farm here in Virginia and has this recipe posted on their site. I have made it many times since discovering it and I'm in LOVE for sure :) My whole family loves this recipe! What a quick and nutritious pizza alternative. ENJOY!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
The Crust:
3 1/2 cups grated zucchini or squash, coarsely grated
3 eggs beaten
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1 Tbs. fresh basil minced
salt and pepper to taste
Salt the zucchini lightly and let it sit for 15 minutes. Squeeze out all the excess moisture.
Combine all crust ingredients, and spread into an oiled 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Bake 20-25 minutes until the surface is dry and firm. Brush the top with oil and broil it, under moderate heat for 5 minutes.
Top pizza with your favorite toppings, sauce, and cheese (pesto makes a wonderful sauce!) and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
