MAIN DISH-CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST (click here to print)

Non-stick spray
2 ½ cups grated cauliflower (about ½ a large head) ( I used one bag of the Birds Eye fresh riced cauliflower instead of grating my own.)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten 
1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella(I get the blocks of mozzarella and cheddar and grate it myself)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese(grate the fresh yourself...don't use the stuff in the green can)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup homemade or store bought tomato sauce(sugar free)
1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese(grate it yourself as pre-packaged shredded has potato starch which keeps it from sticking together)

2 cloves garlic, sliced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup basil leaves, for garnish

Directions
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.Spray parchment paper with Pam or other oil spray
Grate the cauliflower using a box grater until you have 2 cups of cauliflower crumbles. Place in a large bowl and microwave for 7-8 minutes, or until soften. Remove and let cool. Mix in the egg, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Once combined, pat into a 10-inch round on the prepared pizza pan. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
Top the pizza with the sauce, mozzarella, , garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven until melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Top with basil before serving. serves 4; less than 10 carbs
Note:  use a variety of toppings.......  I made mine with pizza sauce, green peppers, pepperoni, baby kale, and shredded mozzarella. It was delicious
