Description
A simple and delicious flatbread with a cauliflower crust, topped with classic Margherita ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, riced
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella balls, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
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 cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form a flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 20-25 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 sliced fresh mozzarella balls on top of the sauce.
- Return the flatbread 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 cauliflower is very dry after steaming to prevent a soggy crust.
- You can add other toppings like sliced tomatoes or a drizzle of olive oil.
