I made this last night and it was really good. i added fresh basil leaves and turkey pepperoni. The crust is a little eggy, almost like a giant pizza fritata. But the flavor was excellent! And yet another use for all my zucchini :)

3 eggs- 1/4 c of egg substitute is equal to 1 egg.

If you want to use eggs instead of egg substitute - how many eggs do you use?
