Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 Egg, large
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.75 cup Tomato sauce, no sugar added
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until soft. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, 1 cup of mozzarella, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a thin, even circle about 10 inches in diameter.
Bake the crust in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it is firm and golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, then add crumbled bacon on top.
Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice and serve hot, enjoying a classic pizza experience with a low-carb twist.
