Breakfast Pizza

By:  Maria



Breakfast pizza is not a new concept for those of us coming up with creative ways to stay in optimal health via nutrition.  This crust, however, is not your typical pizza crust.  Made with cauliflower, rather than refined flour, the crust is incredibly nutritious, full of nutrients and, unlike your refine flour crust, is low carb and causes no issues with gut permeability!

This recipe has very basic breakfast toppings (homemade guacamole, crumbled bacon slice and a sunny-side up egg!), but you can top this crust recipe with any ingredients and for any meal!

Ingredients
Servings:  4

 1/2 head cauliflower, cleaned and cut into florets
1 egg
1/2 C almond meal
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp olive oil
(optional:  if you are ok with dairy, you can add 1 cup quality cheese)
any combination of your favorite dried herbs

Preheat oven to 400. Steam cauliflower then pulse in food processor to rice type consistency. Add remaining ingredients and pulse together. Pour "dough" onto oiled pizza stone or greased pizza pan - spread out with wet hands to fit your pan. Top with favorite dried herbs. Bake crust for 25-40 minutes, paying attention to over-browning.
