Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Sprinkle the zucchini with a little salt, and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Put it in a strainer and press out the excess moisture.

3. Beat together the strained zucchini, eggs, protein powder, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, salt, and pepper.

4. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, and spread the zucchini mixture in it.

5. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until firm. Brush it with a little oil, and broil it for about 5 minutes, until it's golden.

6. Next, spread on the pizza sauce, then add the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and other toppings.
