Ingredients

• 1 Cauliflower (large head)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until it resembles rice. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower by hand.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes until soft. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieve a firm crust.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 6

Spread the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming it into a round pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.

Step 7

While the crust is baking, prepare the spinach topping. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 9

To make the garlic-parmesan sauce, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Once the crust is baked, spread the garlic-parmesan cream sauce evenly over the surface.

Step 11

Top with sautéed spinach, fresh mozzarella slices, additional Parmesan if desired, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and black pepper.

Step 12

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve. Enjoy your low-carb spinach pizza!
