MARGARITA Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Contains dairy

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped cauliflower, about 1 head

• 1 tablespoons olive oil

• salt and pepper

• ¼ cup cornmeal (if Celiac, make sure it says gluten free on the package, some cornmeal brands may contain traces)

• 2 eggs

• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

• ¼ cup tomato sauce

• ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

• 1-2 on-the-vine tomatoes, sliced

• 1 tablespoon basil, sliced into ribbons

Instructions

• Chop the cauliflower into medium pieces. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the oil and the cauliflower and cook covered. Check skillet every few minutes to keep cauliflower from burning, but let it get roasted on the outside.

• Continue to let cauliflower cook, covered, for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Let cool for a few minutes.

• Preheat the oven to 450. In a blender or large food processor, place eggs, cornmeal, and seasoning.

• Place cauliflower in blender and puree until you have a semi-smooth, thick batter.

• Cover a pizza pan with parchment paper and pour batter into the center of the paper. Spread until you have about a ½ inch thick crust or thinner if desired.

• Bake the crust for about 45 minutes, checking occasionally to keep from burning. Cook until it is your desired crispiness and cooked through.

• Once the crust is done to your liking, remove and top with tomato sauce, half the cheese, sliced tomatoes, and the rest of the cheese.

• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Top with basil, slice, and serve!
