INGREDIENTS
2.5 cups cauliflower (about 200g)
1 large egg (50g)
3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese (85g)
1/4 cup tomato sauce (59g)
6 sprigs fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Rice the cauliflower by placing florets in a food processor until satisfying a rice-like texture.
Transfer the riced cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes until softened. Allow to cool slightly.
Mix the cooled cauliflower with the egg, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing it into a thin, even round shape to form the crust.
Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it starts to turn golden firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your nutritious Cauliflower Crust Margherita Pizza!
