Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
2 to 3 medium zucchini
1 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup almond meal
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 ounces soft goat cheese
1/3 cup store-bought basil pesto
3 to 4 slices prosciutto
10 to 15 basil leaves, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and liberally spray with cooking spray.
- Grate the zucchini on the small holes of a box grater to yield about 2 cups. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the liquid.
- Place the zucchini in a medium bowl. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, almond meal, egg, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10- to 11-inch round. Bake until golden brown and the edges begin to crisp up, about 15 minutes.
- Use a spatula to lift and loosen the zucchini crust from the baking mat. Place a piece of parchment on top of the crust. Cover with an inverted baking sheet and flip to invert the crust.
- Bake until golden brown with crispy edges, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Immediately top with chunks of the goat cheese so they start to soften and melt. Dollop with the pesto and top with the prosciutto and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and black pepper. Cut into triangles or squares.
