Inspire: To Breath Life Into: Homemade Zucchini Crust Pizza

What you'll need:

4 zucchinis, depending on their size, about four cups when grated

1/4-1/2 cup salt

3 eggs

5 oz. asiago cheese

5 oz. parmesan cheese

fresh parsley

fresh cilantro

4 cloves of garlic, minced

oregano (I didn't have it fresh so I just used the dried seasoning)

1 can of pizza sauce

fresh mozzarella

1 yellow squash

preheat oven to 400 degrees

Start out by grating all of your zucchini into a bowl and sprinkling it generously with salt to pull the juices out. I found a huge zucchini at my local farmer's market in Madison, so I only needed one!

Place your salted zucchini in a strainer and let it sit for about 15 min. Periodically, you can squeeze out the juice with your hands or by pushing the zucchini against the side of the strainer. It's important to get as much moisture out as possible!

While your zucchini is sitting, go ahead and mince your garlic and finely chop the parsley and cilantro!

The next step is to crack 3 eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together until fluffy. You can then add your zucchini, garlic, parsley and cilantro. If you have fresh oregano, you can add that too, otherwise sprinkling some of the dried version will work just fine.

Then, add some of your parmesan and asiago cheese to the mixture. It doesn't have to be exact, I would say about 2 oz of each. Just make sure you have enough left to put on top of the pizza later on!

If your mixture is looking at all watery you might want to try and drain some of the excess liquid out of the side of the bowl. Then, the zucchini mixture is ready to be spread into a well greased 12 in. pizza pan. Make sure there is a uniform thickness when you are spreading it out. Feel free to sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.

Pop the crust in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 min, but check it periodically to make sure it is browning evenly on all sides.

While your crust is cooking you can go ahead and slice your yellow squash. The slices should be pretty thin.

Place the squash slices in a single layer in a pan with hot olive oil. Allow them to turn slightly golden brown on each side and then remove them from the heat. Once all of your slices are cooked, set them aside for later use.

Your pizza crust is done cooking when it starts to turn golden brown on top. However, it won't necessarily be "crispy," so it's easiest to just eat your finished pizza with a fork.
