Zuchini Pizza Crust page

[PattySt]

I made a pizza crust out of shredded zuchini, egg, parmesean and garlic. A couple of people have asked me how...here is what I did:


Shred a medium sized zuchini, salt it, leave it in a colander for about 20 min to drain. Use paper towels to squeeze more water out of it (the drier the better.)


Stir in a couple eggs, a couple of cloves of minced garlic and a cup of grated parmesean cheese. Spread in a pan (I don't know the dimentions of mine...bigger than 9x13) and bake at 400 for 20 min. It comes out a bit like a fritata.


Put the toppings on and bake for another 10-15 min.


I used mozarella, italian sausage, red onion, fresh basil, olives. Next time I will go greek and use chicken, feta, artichoke hearts, olives, etc. The possibilities are endless.


Enjoy!

ps...I adapted this recipe from one on another site. I will post the original author later (it's at home).

it does sound yummy, but what's with all the cheese around here you guys??


we are dairy-allergic so cheese is right out. any ideas for subs for the dairy?

[PattySt]

I do try to keep my cheese consumption limited...however.... Just throw on a bunch of other pizza toppings...go for more meat. Non-dairy cheese sounds scary....


Good Luck!

Hi,


New and but migrating into PB. Quick question: How are you shredding the zuchini? I'm not 100%

I use the large hole side of a box grater to shred zucchini.
