A delicious twist on a classic pizza, featuring a crisp cauliflower crust layered with a light tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and a sprinkle of parmesan, all crowned with fresh basil leaves. This creative margherita pizza offers a satisfying balance of flavors and textures for a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup grated cauliflower
2 large eggs
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup tomato sauce
0.5 oz grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp olive oil
Fresh basil leaves (a handful)
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the grated cauliflower and microwave for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened. Allow to cool and then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
Add the 2 eggs to the cauliflower along with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Spread the cauliflower-egg mixture evenly onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a thin circular crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until it starts to turn lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly on top.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly, then add the grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with olive oil.
Slice and serve warm, enjoying your nutrient-packed, flavorful Margherita pizza.
