Friday Night Pizza Alternative

These were a huge hit in the Lund house last week! Even my picky 6 year old didn't noticed I had swapped his regular crust for cauliflower. Ha!

Mini Cauliflower Mozzarella & Tomato Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 large head cauliflower (4 cups shredded)
• 2 large eggs
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 3 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3/4 cup pizza sauce
• 12 fresh basil leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced into 12 rounds
• ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 3 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions:

1. Using a food processor, shred cauliflower into small crumbles.

2. Cook cauliflower in microwave in a large microwave-safe bowl for 8 minutes. Allow to cool for 8-10 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 450°F.

4. In large bowl combine cooled cauliflower, eggs, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, oregano, basil and garlic powder and stir to combine.

5. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets and divide mixture into 12 balls. Place balls on baking sheets and pat each into a thin round about 3-4 inches wide. Bake in oven 15 minutes until golden brown (you will notice the edges are slightly charred but that is OK).

6. Remove baking sheets from the oven and turn on broiler to HI. Top each mini crust with pizza sauce, remaining mozzarella, basil leaves, Parmesan cheeses and tomato slices.

7. Place under the broiler for about 5-6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove sheets from oven and allow to cool before serving.
