Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese, divided
  • 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
  • 4 ounces Colby Jack cheese (1 cup), shredded
  • 1 pound keto Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded Italian cheese, and black pepper.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until set.
