BAKED ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• 1. Wash and slice your zucchini. I sliced mine a little thicker for a "meatier" bite. Place your eggs into a bowl and whisk them. In another bowl your bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Dip your zucchini into the egg and then bread mixture. Pat the bread onto the zucchini and have a nice thick breading on them. Place in another bowl. When finished place in a GREASED 9 by 14 pan.
• 2. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes till nice and crispy brown on top. No need to turn them. Remove from oven.
• 3. Water down your pizza sauce slightly so that it will pour easily over the zucchini.
• 4. Then place your cheese on top. Top with a little more breadcrumbs if you like. A little Parmesan cheese over top is fine too.
• 5. Place back in oven for 7 to 10 minutes till it has a little brown crust on top.
• 6. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Prepare some garlic toast to service with it.
• 7. Plate your pizza zucchini bites and your ready to eat.
• 8. Made this for dinner 8/12/2014 --- If serving for guests you could warm additional pizza sauce on stove and pour some onto the plate and then place your zucchini over that. Just an added touch for presentation.
• 9. If you have leftovers, these are just served up for lunch or dinner. Heat a little oil in your skillet. Then, place your pizza zucchini in and cover with lid. Cook it for about 5 minutes and the bottom becomes all crunchy with the bread crumbs and cheese.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

BREADED ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with foil. Slice mozzarella balls in half; set aside.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Rinse tomatoes and put in the boiling water for blanching. Remove after 1 minute, let cool slightly, and use your hands to peel the skin; it should slip off easily.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another small pot. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peeled tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Cook tomatoes, breaking up with a spoon, to create a sauce. Let cook while you prepare zucchini.
• Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl until mixture is consistent. Put panko in a shallow bowl.
• Dip zucchini pieces into the egg-water mixture, then coat both sides with panko.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add panko-coated zucchini slices and saute until golden brown, flipping occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared cookie sheet.
• Top each zucchini slice with about 1 teaspoon sauce and 1 pepperoni slice. Place 1 piece mozzarella on top of each zucchini.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella is slightly melted, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt; let drain for 15 minutes then squeeze out the moisture.
• Combine the zucchini, eggs, Parmesan, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack in a large bowl. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the zucchini crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning.
• Spoon the sauce mixture over the baked zucchini crust. Top with the bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives, and the remaining mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Return to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
