Cauliflower Crust Pizza - A New Take On It!

For the Crust:

• 1 - 16 oz. bag Cauliflower Crumbles
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup shredded part skim Mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1/4 tsp. dried basil
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat Oven to 425F.

Steam the cauliflower according to the directions on the bag.  Place cooked cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and let cool for 10 minutes.  Move cauliflower to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.  

Pour the cauliflower mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pat it out to make a rectangle crust about 1/4 inch thick.  Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.  Pull the crust out of the oven.

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic
• 1 1/2 cups shredded part skim Mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni, thinly sliced
• 6 slices Canadian bacon, thinly sliced

While the crust is cooking, saute the bell pepper, onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Top the cooked crust with pizza sauce and spread it out evenly using a silicone brush. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese and top with bell pepper & onion mixture, pepperoni and Canadian bacon.  Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top and bake for 7-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and starting to brown.

Let cool 2-3 minutes before slicing.  Enjoy!
