Default Vegetarian Zucchini Pizza

Slice those zucchini, that grew a bit to big, thin (about 1/4") and lengthwise and lay them on a flat baking pan with heavy foil on it. You may have to trim and over lap the Zucchini slices to get them to fit together like a jig saw puzzle.

Cover them with shredded low moisture, low fat Mozzarella cheese and broil just long enough to "glue" them together.

Then take it out of the oven and cover with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings.

Top with another layer of low fat shredded pizza cheese blend.

Bake at 450 till the top cheese melts and gets a nice golden brown color.

Slide the whole thing out with the sheet of foil onto a cutting board.

Slice with a round rolling pizza cutter when it cools just enough that the cheese tries to hold it together.

Slide the slices off the foil and onto your plate with a spatula.

Definitely a fork eating operation! But boy is it good!

Optional: (I usually don't use sausage or pepperoni because it gets too greasy without bread to absorb the grease. However if you do choose to make it with meat, choose only extra lean types.)

When my Dad had a heart attack we experimented with this because he had a strict diet ordered by the doctors. It takes a little getting used to cooking it right, Then another whole learning curve getting used to sliding the slices onto your plate, but well worth it once you get the knack.

It became a favorite of the family.
