Cauliflower Crust Pizza (GF)

Cauliflower Crust Pizza (GF)

(4 servings)

Ingredients:

1 medium head Cauliflower (see note)
2 large Fresh Eggs, lightly beaten
¾ cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
¼ cup GF Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
¼ tsp. Salt
¾ cup GF Pizza Sauce
1/3 cup Fresh Vegetables, chopped or sliced (see note)
as needed Fresh Basil, snipped

Directions:

In a medium bowl, stir together the processed cauliflower, eggs, ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and salt.  Pat cauliflower mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.  Bake in a pre-heated 435-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is starting to brown.  Spoon pizza sauce evenly over baked crust.  Top with vegetables and remaining cheese.  Put back in oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or unlit cheese melts.  Sprinkle with snipped basil, cut into squares and serve.

Notes:              Core and cut into florets (about 6 cups).  Place in a food processor, cover and pulse 4 to 6 times or until finely ground.  Transfer to a microwave safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap.  Poke 2 or 3 small holes in plastic to vent.  Microwave on high for 5 minutes or until softened.  Cool and then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze as much water as possible out.

Notes:              Try mushrooms, red onion, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and/or zucchini.  Or try other favorites.
