Dairy-Free Zucchini and Yam Thin Crust Pizza

We love pizza! But it’s hard to make when you are on a dairy-free diet. It’s not the same without the cheese, specially because the toppings don’t stay on! Today we created a delicious thin crust pizza recipe with an excellent substitute for cheese. Since we love the sweetness of yams, we made a zucchini and yam pizza with a healthy gluten free crust, homemade tomato sauce, spinach, leeks, garlic and the main ingredient to bring it all together – happy free range chicken eggs! If you are on a dairy free diet you should give this recipe a try. The egg acts as a binding agent (like cheese) and adds more flavor to your pizza. (see recipe below)
