INGREDIENTS
150g Cauliflower
1 Whole Egg
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (sliced)
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rice the cauliflower in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like texture. Lightly steam or microwave the riced cauliflower for 3-4 minutes to soften, then let it cool.
Place the cooled cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with one whole egg, one egg white, shredded low-fat mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even circle to form the pizza crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it starts to turn golden around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over it.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices on top, then return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
Once melted, take the pizza out and drizzle with olive oil. Top with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
