Description
A simple and delicious flatbread with a cauliflower crust, topped with classic Margherita ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head cauliflower, riced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Steam or microwave the riced cauliflower until tender. Drain any excess water thoroughly.
- In a bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, beaten egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Press the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form a flatbread crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
- Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices on top of the sauce.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cauliflower is very dry after steaming to prevent a soggy crust.
- You can add other toppings like cherry tomatoes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
