Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower florets
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 4 ounces Ham, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Olives, sliced
• 8 leaves Basil leaves, fresh

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool briefly.

Step 4

Once cooled enough to handle, transfer cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 5

In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower with the egg, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a 10-12 inch round crust.

Step 7

Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to touch.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven, spread the pizza sauce over it, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Arrange slices of ham, red onion, green bell pepper, and olives evenly on top.

Step 10

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
