INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cauliflower (150g)
2 large Eggs (100g)
1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (112g)
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce (60g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 handful Fresh Basil Leaves (5g)
2 servings Fresh Tomato Slices (30g)
Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower in a food processor and blend until it resembles rice. Microwave or steam the cauliflower until tender, then let it cool down.
Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, combine the dry cauliflower, 2 beaten eggs, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until you form a cohesive dough.
Press the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin round crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over it.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top, then add fresh tomato slices.
Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
