Calories 250kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower
- 3 ounce mozzarella cheese
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon basil, dried
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley, dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1 large egg
Toppings
- 8 jumbo black olives, canned
- 1 cup, chopped bell pepper, green
- 1/2 cup, pieces or slices mushrooms, white
- 1 cup pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a pizza pan or use a pizza stone.
- Chop cauliflower into florets. Add to a food processor and pulse until it becomes crumbly. Put into a microwave safe bowl and cook in microwave for 2-3 minutes until tender. Allow to cool on a clean dish towel.
- Once cooled, squeeze out any excess moisture by wringing the cauliflower inside the towel. Transfer cauliflower into a clean mixing bowl.
- Grate the cheese; add 1/4 cup of the mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper into the bowl. Toss to combine, and then add the egg. Stir until completely mixed together.
- Place "dough" onto a greased pizza pan or pizza stone. Shape into crust, making it thicker than you would for a regular pizza crust. Set aside. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
- Slice olives, dice pepper and cut mushrooms into smaller pieces. Spread pizza sauce over crust and sprinkle with toppings and remaining cheese.
- Place pizza back into oven and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to slightly cool before serving.
