Cauliflower Pizza Crust

While the cauliflower pizza slices CAN be held with your hands, they are on the floppy side, so a knife and a fork might prove helpful.

Serving size: 3 slices
Makes 2 servings

Ingredients
Olive oil cooking spray
1 small head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella (2oz)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
2. Place the cauliflower in a food processor and rice it – pulse until its texture resembles rice. Work in batches if needed. You should get 2 heaping measuring cups of riced cauliflower, about 280 grams (10oz).
3. In a medium bowl, mix the riced cauliflower, eggs, mozzarella, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
4. Transfer the mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to press it into a thin 10-inch circle. Try to even it out so that it’s all the same thickness.
5. Keep watch, as oven times will vary. Mine burnt the first time. Bake until golden brown and very set (so that edges can be gently lifted up from the baking sheet without the circle falling apart), about 40 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy! VERY YUM and guilt free!!
