Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1/2 head of a large cauliflower
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• fresh ground pepper
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup vegetables

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• 2 break the cauliflower into floret's and use a food processor or cheese grater to shred the cauliflower into little bits. it takes about 10-12 pulses in the food processor to get the right consistency, being careful not to over process and make a puree.
• 3 transfer to a large bowl and cook in the microwave, uncovered, for 8 minutes on high heat. it is not necessary to add water, the cauliflower will steam on it's own.
• 4 let the cauliflower cool slightly and mix in all remaining crust ingredients.
• 5 spray a pizza pan or sheet pan with non-stick spray liberally and spread out the mixture. go for a pretty thin pizza, this will ensure crispiness. spray the top lightly with cooking spray.
• 6 place the crust in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. it will get crispy and dark in many areas. important tip: before you top the crust with toppings, be sure to take a large spatula and very gently loosen the bottom of the crust from the pan. this will prevent it from sticking as you cook it further.
• 7 top the crust with your favorite toppings and bake until cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes, and turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp the top to your liking.
