Meatless Pizza made from farmers market finds!

Pizza is one of my favorite things to eat, but I really hate all the grease and fat that comes along with eating it. I have been trying to supplement at least one meatless meal per week in my diet, and I thought that I would maybe try a pizza. I have been seeing a lot of shows on the food network, and the travel channel that have these pizzas with a cracked egg on top. It sounds and looks strange to some, but it looked absolutely delicious to me and I have been dying to try it.

I am very lucky because I have an incredible farmers market nearby that has the most amazing, colorful produce that I have ever seen. I was sitting here, thinking about how absolutely starving I am, so I went into my fridge looking for something. I noticed I had a few mini pizza crusts, my favorite sauce from home: wegmans Grandma's pomodoro sauce, cheese...It was looking like I was going to make a cheese pizza. After a little searching in the vegetable drawer I pulled out a zucchini, fresh spinach and eggs from the market, along with parsley and oregano from my little herb garden. I will tell you- This pizza was legit. I mean, literally the best thing I have tasted in awhile!

Now, of course you can make your own pizza dough if you'd like, and if I was feeling more ambitious I am sure I would have taken a stab at it, but I was so hungry I needed the instant gratification haha.

Alright, these are the exact ingredients I used in my mini pizza:

One mini boboli pizza crust
1/4 cup pasta sauce
1 tbsp flax meal
1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
half zucchini, cut into half moons
handful of fresh spinach
few sprigs of fresh parsley
fresh oregano
1 egg

I sauteed the zucchini first in olive oil, and seasoned it with Lowry's seasoned salt. I cooked until they were slightly brown on each side. While the zucchini was cooking I spread the sauce on my pizza crust, followed by a sprinkling of flax meal, and topped it off with cheese. Next, I added the zucchini, parsley, oregano and spinach, and cracked an egg right on top of everything.

Put the pizza in the oven on the highest shelf, about a few inches from the top-it ensures that the egg with cook all the way through. Cook for about 15-20 min-or until the cheese is melty, and the egg is set, but the yolk is still runny. Let cool for a few minutes, cut into quarters, and DIG IN! I inhaled my pizza and I am positive you will too.

Other ingredients you can use from your market:

green pepper
mushroom
jalapeno
yellow squash
onion
red onion

you can even top it off with some avocado after you are done cooking it-that actually sounds pretty delightful! Just get creative...having a meatless meal does NOT mean eating something bland and boring. Try a meatless Monday in your home and see what you come up with! Happy eating :)
