    How big around was it?

    Answering my own question, it is between 8-10" around. It tasted amazing. I made a white pizza with pepperoni. Here's a pic, ignore the giant bite taken out already.

    That looks absolutely yummy.I miss pizza, so I am definitely going to try this.By the way how much broccoli do you use and is it cooked first before mixing with other ingredients. Mmmmmmmm.:tongue:

    I made mine about 3/4 of an inch thick, when it was raw. It settled as it baked, to a bit less than a half an inch...about the thickness of a regular (Not deep dish) crust.
    It actually looked and smelled pretty tasty even before I put pizza toppings on it. ...sort of like a pancake quiche, without the crust and heavy whipping cream. I really was surprised at just how fabulous it tasted.

    I love pizza, but I truly would not miss it and if friends around me were eating a *real* pizza, while I ate this one, I'd be perfectly happy and satisfied and not envious at all. I think that is amazing. Now, if I could make it so I don't miss a good, fresh, New York bagel. LOL

    How big around was it?

    It was about 13 inches long and 9 1/2 inches wide. It could have made 4 meals, easily. There were 8 large pieces, but I was so hungry when I made it, and it tasted so darned good, that I ate half. I got two more, very satisfying meals out of the other half of it.

    I used a large, 1 LB bag of frozen, organic broccoli florets, three whole, large, free range, organic eggs, and some cheese (mozzarella and parmesan) in the crust too, along with some seasoning to taste. I think it would have been good with any sort of cheese, really.

    I would either slightly steam or par-boil it first, or use frozen, which is already blanched before freezing.

    Is the crust crispy or soggy? Sounds too good to be true, I love broccoli on my pizza so I would love to try it in a "crust" but I can't stand a soggy crust. I guess I just assume it's soggy because of the comparisons to a frittata or an omelet.

    It wasn't so much crispy or soggy, as ummm...fluffy. Kinda like good quiche should be.
    I ate it cold the next day and it was great that way too.

    Thanks to all who gave a "warning" about not using parchment paper. I'm going out now to buy all the ingredients and I will make sure to buy parchment paper as well. Guess what I'm having for dinner tonight? I can't wait.

    I don't know how much the OP used, but I used a 1 LB bag of thawed, organic, broccoli florets, with 3 large, whole eggs and the other ingredients, which you could change to your tastes. That ratio of egg to broccoli worked really well for my crust. It was a large pizza though. Good for sharing or having leftovers the next day or two. It was great cold too.
