1. Preheat oven to 550F. The oven needs to be really hot for the crust and eggs to cook properly. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper or grease well.
2. In a mixing bowl add in grated zucchini. Use a tea towel to press excess water out of zucchini. You want it to be as dry as possible to avoid a soggy pizza crust.
3. Add in egg, flour and garlic. Mix well.
4. Form the zucchini “dough” into a pizza shape on the pizza pan using hands.
5. Bake for 10 minutes until the crust starts turning golden.
6. Remove from oven, top pizza with cheese. Crack eggs into the middle of the pizza. Add bacon, tomatoes, green pepper, green onions and chili flakes.
7. Place back into oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked.
