RECIPE for 1 medium pizza (8 slices):
Crust:
- 1 cauliflower (a smallish to medium sized one, not one the size of your head)
- 1/2-3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp of dried basil
- 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
Toppings (up to you but I did a veggie medley):
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mushrooms
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 1/2 red onion
WHOLE PIZZA = 616 calories
1 SLICE = 77 calories
DIRECTIONS:
1. Stick baking sheet or pizza stone in oven, preheat to 450 degrees.
2. Shred cauliflower in a food processor
3. Microwave in a bowl for 4 min
4. Dump out cauliflower on a tea towel and let it cool.
5. Wrap cauliflower in tea towel and squeeze as much water out of it as possible, then put back into a bowl.
6. Mix in about 1/2 cup of cheese, save rest for topping
7. Crack the egg and mix all ingredients together
8. Take out pan from oven and spray pan with PAM and make a nice base of cauli-cheese crust
9. Bake in oven 8-12 minutes
7. Then take out crust, top with sauce and toppings
8. Place back in oven for another 5-10 minutes
