Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup Ham, chopped
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.25 cup Basil leaves, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes until soft.
Once cooled slightly, place the cauliflower in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, salt, oregano, and garlic powder, and mix until well incorporated.
Place the cauliflower dough on the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the sliced mushrooms and chopped ham evenly over the cheese.
Drizzle olive oil over the toppings for added flavor.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top before serving.
