INGREDIENTS
300 g Cauliflower
1 large Egg
1/2 cup shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup sliced Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
5 Fresh Basil leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rice the cauliflower using a food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes to soften it. Allow it to cool slightly.
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella, and grated parmesan. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet into a thin, even round, creating a crust edge if desired.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
Top with sliced fresh mozzarella cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your balanced and delicious Cauliflower Crust Margherita Pizza!
