Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 F (220 C). You want it nice and hot to get that crust crispy and golden.
- Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This steps key to keep your crust from getting soggy, so dont skip it or be lazy.
- In a large bowl, mix zucchini, mozzarella, gluten free flour, garlic, oregano, basil, beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir it real good until it all comes together.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture into a thin round shape, about ¼ inch thick. You want it kinda even, so it cooks uniformly.
- Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes until its golden and pretty firm. Keep an eye but dont open the oven too much, you want that heat steady.
- Take the crust out and spread your pizza sauce on it real even. No one likes lumps of sauce, you gotta smooth it out.
- Arrange asparagus and cherry tomato slices on top, then sprinkle the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Drizzle olive oil if you wanna up the flavor a notch.
- Pop it back into the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until toppings cook and edges crisp up nice. When done, slice and serve warm with optional grated parmesan and fresh herbs.
- Serve and enjoy your zucchini crust breakfast pizza.
