Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ok...those who know me well know that I am not one to pick up a head of Cauliflower and eat it...but in lieu of eating healthy, I am also trying to find creative ways to get more veggies in our families diet...without them knowing! (or me knowing for that matter!) This recipe is good....really good. AND, the best part is that you can make it your own by adding whatever pizza toppings you want!

Prep Time: 15 min.
Cook Time: 20 min.
Servings: 2 (I doubled it and made 2 pizzas)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower (directions below)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. minced garlic (you could lessen this...we really like garlic)
• Olive oil (optional)
• 2 Tbsp. diced cooked mushrooms
• pizza sauce
• 2 Tbsp. Sundried Tomatoes
• 1 Cup spinach (fresh) wilted
• Additional cheese to sprinkle on top (optional)
• 1 Tbsp. crumbly Feta cheese

Directions:

• To "Rice" the cauliflower: Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves. Chop florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. (try not to over-do it). Place riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes (or you can steam it on the stove). DO NOT ADD WATER...the natural moisture is enough for it to cook. ***One large head of cauliflower  gave me 4 cups... you can store extra in the fridge for up to a week)
• Pizza Crust:  Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet with olive or coconut oil. Stir together,  cooked, riced cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano and garlic, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and use hands to pat out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush with olive oil to help it brown. (it will seem moist but as long as it stays in the round formation, it is fine) Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under the broiler at high until cheese is melted (3-4 minutes).

I made one pizza with above ingredients and a second that had half mushrooms and half just cheese for the kids. I was skeptical and thought that I would surely taste cauliflower but I didn't. It was awesome and healthy! Yay for yummy healthy food!
