ZUCCHINI-CRUST PIZZA WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO

Zucchini-Crust Pizza with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto image

This recipe is sponsored by Target. Zucchini-crust pizza can sometimes be a bit of a letdown, too soggy or bland. I add garlic and Parmesan to my crust for an extra layer of flavor and then I cook it twice, flipping halfway through to ensure a crispy crust that can stand up to toppings and not flop over when you pick it up.

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

Steps:

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.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 ounces prosciutto, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 refrigerated pizza crust
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3 ½ tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
8 leaves basil - stacked, rolled into a cigar shape, and thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
Place prosciutto in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Lightly oil a pizza pan, baking sheet, or baking stone. Press pizza dough out onto the pan, spreading to the edges, but avoiding pulling the dough apart.
Combine tomato paste, water, oregano, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Spread an even layer over the dough. Reserve remaining mixture for use on another pizza. Sprinkle minced garlic over the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on top, then the fried prosciutto, then the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle sliced basil leaves over pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese and crust are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let pizza cool for 3 to 4 minutes, slice, and serve.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pizza.
Make your own pizza dough. It's not as difficult as you might think, and it will taste so much better than store-bought dough.
Don't overcrowd the pizza. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Prosciutto and shaved zucchini pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
