A quick, savory way to turn zucchini into a crowd-pleasing snack or side. My friend Toni shared this recipe years ago when we lived in New Jersey. Her family owned an Italian restaurant, and everything she made was delicious. She also shared a favorite risotto recipe, which you might like to try alongside this zucchini dish. Toni’s Zucchini Pizza brings savory Italian flavors together in a simple, comforting bake.
What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is: everything mixes in one bowl, no extra fuss. Eggs and cheese create a rich, satisfying texture that results in a slice you’ll want to serve again and again. The flavors are simple but evocative — one bite might make you feel like you’re enjoying a rustic Italian kitchen.

Tips for How to Make Toni’s Zucchini Pizza
- Choose a zucchini that is not overly large and seedy. If yours is big and full of seeds, scrape them out before slicing.
- Slice the zucchini uniformly so it cooks evenly. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then slice thinly.
- There’s no need to squeeze the liquid out of the zucchini for this recipe.
- Substitute gluten-free baking mix if you need a gluten-free version.
- Use any cheese you like: sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Colby Jack, or a blend.
- Add crushed red pepper for a spicy kick.
- Allow the baked zucchini pizza to cool before cutting into squares to help it set.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
