Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 ounces Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles fine crumbs or rice.
Transfer the processed cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the microwaved cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to cool slightly, then wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower with the egg, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a circular crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven. Arrange the sliced fresh mozzarella evenly over the crust. Scatter cherry tomatoes on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
