This is the recipe I found. Not how I have made it. I have doctored it up a bit. Made it atleast a dozen times in the last couple of months. Even 7 year old GrandMonkey says he loves it better than "real" pizza. I'll post my variations too.
INGREDIENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I use a 16 inch pan. 4-5 cups of shredded zucchini. Sometimes more a thicker crust. 1 cup egg whites with just 1 yolk if I'm out of Egg Beaters. 1/2 cup ( apprx) flour a bit less if I use more parm.. Here is the good part...to the crust mix I add 1/4 cup of parmesean cheese, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic salt..sometimes powder and no salt. Omit the salt if using a "flavored" salt. I have also made the crust a bit spicey and added crushed red pepper. When using fresh veggies, using too many can make it a bit soggy. Make sure they are dry. I set the cut tomato on a paper towel. That helps. Also very thinly sliced. Grilling or a fast saute' helps too, but you don't have to. Just adds a different flavor. I've sauted fresh garlic and mushroom and added those. Thinly sliced left over chicken breast (cooked). Spinach...dotted with pizza with low fat cream cheese. Grilled red peppers and onions. Used chives to make it pretty It's more like a thin quiche crust. Be sure it's cooked...a 16 inch takes 10 -15 minutes to bake the crust before topping. Gets a little brown on the edges. To us, 2 cups of mozzerella cheese was too much. We love the flavors of the veggies and seasoning to come through. 1 cup is plenty IMO. Lil'Monkey loves it dotted with a soft cheese..like rocotta or cream cheese. It's an easy recipe to play with. If the crust seems runny when you fix it..add a bit more flour or parm cheese. It should be thick, like a brownie batter. Spread easy. I'll take a picture next time I make one. I have zucchini in the fridge!

This sounds absolutely delicious and easy enough that I can do it. And with being Lent, there's no meat in it since Friday is pizza night. I know what I'm having for dinner Friday.

Good Morning Thumper.
Let me know how you like it. I got some yellow summer squash yesterday. I'm going to try one with a mix of that and zucchini. I have made it with putting some finely chopped onion in the crust, but changed the texture. The onion doesn't cook at the same rate and stayed too firm. I can never leave a recipe alone. I had to make a point of measuring so I could post this. I had the original recipe, but I just toss stuff in a bowl and mix. lol.

Well when you get that mixture right let me know. I love summer squash but it's not out here yet. My mom was like that, never measured a thing but it always came out just right.

Curious, thank you for that recipe. It's different, and I get tired of making the same old stuff. I can't leave recipes alone either! We make a lot of healthy pizza in this house; a quiche-like crust sounds wonderful, and thank you for your substitution ideas.
I have a spaghetti squash left over from a friend who grows produce, and I'm wondering if this will work instead of the zucchini. I had quite a few spaghetti squashes this year and I'd love a new way to use them.
