Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Don’t knock it. Tastes great, less filling, and good for you too!

Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower, in chunks
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ c shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450. Line a pizza pan (or cookie sheet) with parchment.
  2. In a food processor, bring cauliflower to a pulp, makes about 2-3 cups.
  3. Place cauliflower in a bowl, cover loosely, and microwave 5 minutes. Cool.
  4. Use a strainer and cheesecloth to REALLY squeeze out the liquid. (If you’re really thrifty, like me, you can save the liquid to use in soup stock or rice.) Mix with remaining ingredients and spread on parchment. Cover with plastic wrap and roll it to the edges of the pan. Remove and discard plastic.
  5. Bake 30 minutes or until it begins to brown. This may vary depending on your oven and the placement of your rack. Check it often and adjust the temperature if necessary.
  6. While it cooks, make your sauce (this is the most awesome pizza sauce recipe).
  7. Top with sauce, cheese, and other yummy toppings (we like chopped broccoli and sometimes black olives).
  8. Lower heat to 375 and bake another 20 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes to set.
