Eating healthy is hard.
Super hard.
I had a craving for pizza. Not wanting to blow my hard work on more than one weekly occasion zucchini crust was my compromise. Surprisingly... this was easier than it looks.
And look! Only 3 Ingredients.
1 large egg or 2 small ones
About 3 small-medium zucchinis (mine were about 8″)
1.5 cups grated parmesan or mozzarella. I liked parmesan best for this one.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grate the zucchini. Let it sit. Squeeze the water out. If you have cheese cloth, good for you. If not... press into the zucchini with your fist until you get the majority of the water out of the vegetable and your colander.
Mix your grated zucchini with egg and grated cheese.
Spread some parchment paper out on a pizza pan. A baking stone would probably work best, but work with what you got.
Toss it in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, until the edges have browned.
I did mozzarella and prosciutto for this pizza. Wicked easy. Put your sliced prosciutto in your oven or toaster oven and watch it crisp (have a towel handy for excess drool).
Now... toss your sauce and toppings on top of the crust and put it back in the oven.

Once it crisps, let it cool and chop into strips.
Mmmmm... see that? Semi-crispy on the edges.
Now... toss your sauce and toppings on top of the crust and put it back in the oven.
Let. The cheese. Melt.
Enjoy! (wine goes great with this one)
