 4 eggs
 2 cups mozzarella cheeseshredded
 3 tsp oregano
 4 cloves garlicminced
 1 cup mozzarella cheesefor topping
 salt and pepperto taste
Directions
1

Preheat oven to 425 F degrees. Prepare 2 pizza dishes or a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare Cauliflower
2

If using fresh head of cauliflower, roughly chop cauliflower into florets. Add the florets to food processor and pulse until cauliflower resembles rice. Place the cauliflower in a microwavable container and cover with lid. Microwave for 10 minutes.

3

If using frozen cauliflower, prepare as directed on package.

4

Let the cauliflower cool just until there’s no more steam coming from it.

Prepare Mixture
5

Place the microwaved cauliflower in a large bowl and add the eggs, 2 cups of mozzarella, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix everything together.

6

Separate the mixture in two and place each half onto the prepared baking sheets. Shape into a pizza crust, or a rectangular shape for the breadsticks.

7

Bake the crust (no topping yet) for about 25 minutes or until golden.

8

Once golden, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.

9

Slice and serve, or add your pizza toppings and broil for a few minutes, until toppings are cooked and cheese is bubbling.

Notes
  • The cauliflower should not be soggy at all after microwaving it.
    • If it is, place it on a few paper towels and squeeze the water out of it.
    • Or add the cheese and place it back in the oven and bake it for a few minutes until the cheese melts and browns.
  • The crust can be frozen, already baked, and thawed out on the counter or in the microwave.
