Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Anyone who knows me, know that I LOVE PIZZA!!

Unfortunately, my quest for a healthier lifestyle would definitely eliminate pizza, but my unending desire for pizza was ever present.  I even tried the “Burrito Crust” pizza, but it was not quite satisfying – the burrito crust was a little too soggy for my taste… Woe is me!!

Until now!!!  EUREKA, I have discovered a 100% vegetarian pizza; even the crust is made with a vegetable – who knew – Ta Da – CAULIFLOWER pizza crust!!

The cauliflower crust pizza is not my original recipe; however, I made a few tweeks to my liking… and, I would like to share this awesome delight with all of you.

Things you need:
Cauliflower
1 Egg
Mozzarella Cheese
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Finely Ground Pepper
Pizza Sauce
Your Favorite Pizza Toppings
Parchment Paper

Step 1:
Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees.  Grate enough cauliflower for 2 cups.

Step 2:
Remove the excess moisture from the grated cauliflower by heating it in a pan over low heat for about 10 minutes – you do not want to brown the cauliflower.

Step 3:
Set the cauliflower aside to cool.  Beat 1 egg in a bowl.

Step 4:
Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese to the beaten egg – mix well.

Step 5:
Add the cooled cauliflower; 1/2 teaspoon onion power; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; to the egg / mozzarella mixture – combine thoroughly to form the “crust”.

Step 6:  Shape the cauliflower mixture (crust) into a ball.

Step 7: Place the ball on parchment paper and shape into a round (approximately 10″) or square pizza crust.  NOTE: be sure to use parchment paper or the cauliflower crust may stick to the pan and tear after baking.

Step 8:  Bake the cauliflower crust for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 9:  Spread pizza sauce and your favorite toppings on the baked cauliflower crust and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 10: Remove from Oven and Enjoy!!!
