295 calories each (makes 6)

Ingredients for crust

1 Large head of cauliflower

2 Large eggs

2 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tsp dried oregano

2 tbs garlic powder

Ingredients for toppings

1 Cup shredded mozzarella

1 Cup tomato sauce

24 (approximately) Fresh basil leaves

2 Large tomatoes

6 tbs shredded parmesan cheese 

STEP 1

To begin, chop the cauliflower into small sections and bite-size pieces, 

disposing of the stock and leaves. Place the chopped cauliflower in your food processor.

Using the chopping blade, shred the cauliflower into crumbles. 

STEP 2

In a large microwave safe bowl, mix the crumbles of cauliflower with the eggs, mozzarella, 

oregano and garlic powder until oregano looks equally distributed. 

Cook mixture in the microwave for 8 minutes, then allow to cool 10 minutes

STEP 3

After crust ingredients are mixed, scoop 1/2 cup and drop onto wax paper. 

STEP 4
Use a large or mixing spoon to pat down the mix into a thin, round "crust".

You may want to make the edges a bit thicker than the center, 

to keep them from browning too much. 

STEP 5

 Next sprinkle corn meal over lightly greased sheet, 

then flip the "crust" onto the sheet- with the wax paper on top.

Carefully pull the wax paper off of the "crust" and repeat process.  

STEP 6

Cook at 425F for 15-20 minutes

Depending how thick your crust is, baking may take longer.

STEP 7

When crust bakes to desired crispness - carefully remove sheet, to heat-safe location.

Add 2 tbs of tomato sauce to each crust, covering whole surface.
Next add 1/4 cup of  mozzarella, 3-4 basil leaves, 1 tbs and sliced tomato.


STEP 8
Return to oven (425F) and bake about 5 minutes longer.
When the 5 minutes is up, remove pizzas from oven
and let cool about 5 minutes before serving
