Cauliflower Pizza
1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
olive oil (optional)
pizza sauce, shredded cheese and your choice of toppings
To "Rice" the Cauliflower:
Take fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not puree it. (you can also grate it with a cheese grater). Microwave cauliflower for 8 minutes. No need to add water, the moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook it.
To Make the Pizza Crust:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet and spread out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning. Bake at 450 degrees for ~15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Let cool a bit. Add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes).
Note that toppings need to be precooked since you are only broiling for a few minutes.
