The Cauliflower Crust Healthy Pizza Recipe

ingredients:

1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat, no fat)
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
olive oil (optional)

Medifast ingredients:

1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (low-fat, no fat)
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
olive oil (optional)

2 Tbsp pizza sauce
2 oz shredded cheese
2 cup green* toppings

This counts as one Medifast Lean and Green meal; however, if you choose no extra topping you will need to prepare two extra servings of your green option later on in the day.

to "rice" the cauliflower:

Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater).

Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes (some microwaves are more powerful than others, so you may need to reduce this cooking time). There is no need to add water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself.

One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
