Ingredients

  • ½ cup Pomi Pizza Sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup pepperoni minis
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
For the cauliflower crust
  • 1 head cauliflower chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
  2. To make the cauliflower crust, add cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground, yielding about 2-3 cups.*
  3. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and place into microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until softened; let cool.
  4. Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain cauliflower completely, removing as much water as possible.
  5. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Stir in eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Spread cauliflower mixture into a 15- by 10-inch rectangle onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
  7. Top with pizza sauce, cheeses and pepperoni minis. Place into oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately, sprinkled with basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.
