Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Hands down, my favorite cheat meal is pizza!  I don't eat it as often as I could, for obvious reasons (it goes straight to my rear end!) but when I want a healthier version of my beloved favorite food, I opt for the cauliflower crust!  When I talk about making my pizza crust out of cauliflower, I almost always get the strangest looks.  It may sound strange, but believe me, it is delicious.  Nothing will ever top the taste of a traditional pizza, but this does come in a close second!  Enjoy!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower, cooked and riced
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Desired pizza toppings
Coconut oil to coat pizza pan/stone

Preheat the oven to 450*.  Coat pizza pan/stone with coconut oil.  In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, cheeses, egg, garlic, oregano, garlic powder and sea salt.  Pour out onto pizza pan/stone and using your hands, gently pat the cauliflower mixture to form a round "crust".  Bake for 15 minutes (may take a few minutes longer, depending on desired crust thickness) or until golden brown.   Remove the crust from the oven and change the oven setting to "broil".  Top the crust with desired toppings and broil for 3-4 minutes.
