Cauliflower Crust Pizza

When I first heard of this I though, GROSS. But it turns out it was delicious! Just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover.
I found this when I first started my journey of clean eating over on http://katiheifner.blogspot.com/

Serves 2

Ingredients
1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon crushed garlic
½ teaspoon garlic salt
olive oil (optional)
pizza sauce, shredded cheese and your choice of *toppings* (some need precooked)

*some feed back has said you can reduce the cheese by 1/2 and it still tastes just as good!*


Directions
Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, wash and chop the florets into chunks.
Add 1/3 of it to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. If you have not reached your one cup, process more of your cauliflower.
Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it.
OPTION 2: Use a block cheese grater to "rice"
Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 6-8 minutes (depending on the strength of your microwave). There is no need to add water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself.

ONE LARGE HEAD should be about 2-3 cups of cauliflower. You can use the leftovers immediately for more pizza or it can keep for about 5 days for a later veggie side dish.

To Make the Pizza Crust
1. Preheat Oven to 450 degrees. Spray the cookie sheet with non- stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of cauliflower, egg, and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic, and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet and pat it into any shape your heart desires. Should be about 9" round or square. Optional: Brush with olive oil to help with browning.
3. Bake 450 for 15 minutes ***this will not come out like a dry normal crust. It will be moist and most likely have to be eaten it with a fork****
4. Remove from oven
5. To the crust add sauce, more cheese if desired (crust is pretty cheesy already), and desired *toppings

*Note: Some toppings need to be precooked since only broiling a few minutes.
I use whatever veggies are in the fridge. Vary this to your liking. The first time I made it I topped it with tomatoes and spinach and forgot the sauce! oops! But it was still good and turned out like a "white pizza"
