Cool Zucchini Crusted Pizza

This recipe is from Dana Carpender's "500 Low Carb Recipes" and it's quite delicious!

3 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
3 eggs
1/3 cup rice protein powder or soy powder (i use Atkins bake mix)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 pinch or 2 of dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Olive Oil
1 cup sugarless pizza sauce (I use Hunts tomato sauce)
any toppings you like(peppers, pepperoni, sausage, etc)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Sprinkle zucchini with a little salt, let sit for about 15 min. Put into a strainer and press out excess juices (I use back of a large spoon)
3. Beta together the strained zucchini, eggs, protein powder, 1/2 cup mozzarella, parmesan, basil, salt & pepper.
4. spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray ( i use olive oil sprayer from pampered chef) and spread zucchini mixture in it.
5. Bake for about 25 min, or until firm. Brush with a little olive oil, & broil
it for about 5 min, until golden.
6. Next, spread on pizza sauce, then add the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese & other toppings.
7. bake for another 25 min or so, cut into squares & serve.

YIELD; 4 generous servings each with 14 gm crb and 2 gm of fiber for a total of 12 net carbs & 22 gm protein. (analysis does not include toppings)

One slice and a salad is a great dinner for me!
