Cauliflower Pizza Crust


I know what you are thinking.  Pizza without the chewy, yummy crust is not pizza.  Well, I for one would rather have pizza with ANY crust, then no pizza at all.  So why not make a crust that is not only good for you, but good tasting as well?  Enter the Cauliflower.....

For one 6 inch crust:
1 cup cauliflower (1 green)
1/2 beaten egg
Himalayan or Sea Salt if desired
Your preferred pizza toppings

Preheat oven to 450.  Grate cauliflower using a hand-held grate or a food processor.  A food processor saves you like 10 minutes.  Place grated cauliflower in a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes.  Set aside and let it cool down.  When cooled, take a paper towel and press it into the cauliflower to absorb excess water.  Mix beaten egg in with the cauliflower.  When it cooks up, it will have a slightly sweet taste.  I lightly salted my cauliflower as I mixed the egg with it.  Spray or grease a flat cooking tray.  Spread cauliflower mixture on cooking tray and form into a flat, circular crust.  Bake for 20 minutes, flipping half way through.  Take out of the oven and cover with your favorite pizza toppings.  I used minced garlic, spinach, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.  Place back in the oven to cook for 5 more minutes, then turn on the broiler and cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Enjoy!!!
