Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli spinach, kale, or zucchini - see notes
- ½ cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon EACH: sea salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. (See notes for how to prepare the veggies.) Divide between the two baking sheets and use your hands to flatten into an 8-inch circle.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the veggie pizza crusts from the oven and, using the parchment paper, carefully flip the crusts over so the top is now face down directly on the baking sheet. Discard the parchment paper, return the crusts to the oven, and let them cook for another 5 minutes.
- Top lightly with your pizza toppings and cook for a further 15 minutes.
