culinary genius

no joke people, i have hit the low-carb jackpot.  thanks to a lovely little pinterest post, i have found a way to combine my two favorite things on the planet: pizza, sans carbs!

i am not making this up, you read it correctly... i {like colombus} have discovered a new world!

fear not, this crust goes way past infinity into the beyond.  i am always looking for new low carb recipes, and have been on quite a kick lately {and down some major el-bees if i do say so myself}.  this pizza is perfect for  literally anyone; i got drew to eat it, so that should tell you something!  i found the original recipe here, at the your lighter side blog, but i made a few adjustments...

recipe necessities {yields one 10" crust}:
1 egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup cooked, riced* cauliflower
2-4 Tbl. grated parmesan
garlic salt {to taste, aka a lot}
oregano {to taste, aka a lot}
italian seasoning {to taste, aka a lot}
toppings of choice

mix the egg, cauliflower and cheeses together in a bowl until well combined.  flatten it onto a pre-greased cookie sheet; you'll want to make it pretty thin to avoid soggy crust...

then, add all your preferred seasonings; i tend to season a lot since the cauliflower really takes on the flavors well...

after it's seasoned, i bake it at 425 degrees for 12 minutes; the edges will burn a bit. then i set the oven to broil, add a thin layer of sauce, veggies, meats and cheeses, then stick it back in the oven just until the cheese melts.  cut and serve, and you'll never even believe there is cauliflower in the crust!

*to rice the cauliflower, i literally grate fresh cauliflower on a cheese grater and then microwave it covered for about 3 minutes {any longer tends to burn the little guys to a crisp}

of course this culinary masterpiece could not have been completed without the best of helpers...
