Cauliflower Crust Pizza



Ingredients:
-1 cup cooked, riced*cauliflower
-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-1 egg, beaten
-1 tsp dried oregano
-2 cloves minced garlic
-1/4 tsp garlic salt

-pizza sauce (~1/4 cup), shredded cheese* (~1/3 cup), additional toppings

* I like to make it dairy free with Daiya Mozzarella Cheese 

Directions:
(*To "rice" the cauliflower: remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater).
    
- Microwave riced cauliflower for 8 minutes, stirring gently halfway. One large head should produce approx 3 cups. The remainder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week).

-Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

-In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, minced garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9" round. Just before popping in the oven brushing with olive oil to help with browning.
-Bake at 450 for 15 minutes.
-Remove from oven. To the crust, add sauce, toppings, and cheese. Place under broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted. Approx 3 - 4 minutes.
