Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 6 ounces Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until they have a rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 8 minutes or 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 large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well until a dough forms.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press it into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it is golden brown and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly on top.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices over the sauce and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle olive oil over the top and scatter fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve your low carb Margarita pizza warm. Enjoy!
