Garden Pizza

5 Cups Shredded Zucchini
3/4 Cup Garden Vegetable Style Egg Beaters
1/3 Cup Flour
1 (5 oz.) Package Fresh Baby Spinach Leaves
1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic (from a jar)
1 1/2 Cups Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 Cup Low Fat Ricotta Cheese
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion
1 Cup Canned Pizza Sauce
1/4 teaspoon Crushed Dried Red Chilies
1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place 1/2 of the shredded zucchini into a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Place the zucchini into a medium bowl and repeat the process for the remaining zucchini. You should end up with about 3 cups of shredded zucchini.
Combine the flour and Egg Beaters; add to zucchini and mix well. Spray a 12 inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray and spread the zucchini mixture evenly onto the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to puff. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
While the crust is baking, cook the spinach and garlic over medium heat until the spinach is wilted; set aside.
To make the pizza: Spread the pizza sauce evenly onto the crust, and top with the mozzarella cheese, crushed chilies and basil. Bake for 5 minutes. Drop the ricotta cheese in small mounds evenly on top of the melted mozzarella cheese. Next place the spinach and then the onions evenly on top of the ricotta. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are cooked to your liking and the ricotta cheese is bubbly.

Note: The crust on this taste kind of like a quiche. It's not like your typical pizza crust. I do urge you to give it a try though. It's a good way to use some of the vegetables out of your garden in the summer time. I felt rather healthy after eating it. LOL! You can use whatever vegetables you like on top. If I wasn't allergic, I would have added mushrooms. It's a great way to get some veggies too. :)
