Caprese Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

For the cauliflower crust:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray cooking spray on a large baking sheet or pizza pan and set aside.

Remove stems and leaves from cauliflower and coarsely grate cauliflower florets to resemble rice. Use enough to make 2 1/2 cups of grated cauliflower.

Place grated cauliflower, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally until heated through and just tender, about 7-8 minutes.

Place cauliflower in a medium bowl and cool slightly. Add in mozzarella, egg, basil and oregano and stir until combined.

Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and press down forming a crust that’s about 8-9 inches in diameter.

Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until brown. Then remove it from the oven onto your work surface. Keep the oven on.

For the caprese topping:
Spread pesto on top of cooked crust. Top with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Cool slightly, cut and serve.
