Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 5 oz Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets, then pulse them in a food processor until rice-sized.
3. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes until softened.
4. Let the cauliflower cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until well combined.
6. Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form an even round crust, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
7. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
8. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface.
9. Place the fresh mozzarella slices evenly over the sauce, then return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
11. Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil just before serving.
12. Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and enjoy!
