Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a grater.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before handling.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a clean dish towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to prevent a soggy crust.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Form it into a 6-8 inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges begin to golden and the crust sets.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edge.
Top the pizza with sliced mozzarella cheese and return to the oven to bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb personal cheese pizza!
