Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I think this recipe has been gaining lots of popularity on the net lately. You may have seen it and wondered if it actually tastes good. I know I was wondering. My cousin gave it a try and recommend I put it on the blog, as it certainly qualifies for a healthy recipe and she didn't think it tasted too bad. This "crust" is a great alternative to traditional crusts if you are dieting, if you can't eat gluten, or if you want to sneak extra veggies into your (or your family's) diet! I decided to give it a try myself last night, and I am definitely sold. This will be a recipe we make again. My boys literally gobbled this pizza up (mind you, they devour most pizza you put in front of them....but it was a good sign that they didn't say no to it!). M knew something was off, but guessed I made it from tortilla shells, since it was pretty thin. After 3 slices, I confessed what the crust was made of. He went for another slice and only then said he noticed the cauliflower taste. The cauliflower is well hidden by the sauce and toppings, plus it's actually pretty mild anyway. I dare you to give this a try and see if you can taste the cauliflower. Note - this is more a knife and fork kind of pizza! Enjoy!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

• 1 med head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 clove fresh garlic
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• TOPPINGS - sauce, cheese, veggies, meat, etc

1. Place cauliflower florets into bowl of food processor. Pulse a few times until the cauliflower looks like grain (don't over-pulse, or you'll puree it). Dump cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 8 minutes. You don't need to add water, nor do you need to stir.
2. While cauliflower is in microwave, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 pizza pans.
3. Remove bowl of cauliflower from microwave and add remaining ingredients to bowl. Stir to evenly combine.
4. Divide mixture between 2 pizza pans. Using your hands, press together (and pat down) to form 2 - 9" round "crusts". Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until top becomes golden. Watch you don't leave too long, or you may burn the edges!
5. Remove from oven and immediately top with sauce, cheese and whatever else you'd like. Place under the broiler for about 3 minutes per pizza, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve and ENJOY!
