Grain Free - Paleo Cauliflower Crust Pizza!

This recipe has been all over the internet and pinterest so I had to try it!  Hubby LOVED it and 2/3 kids gobbled it up and asked for seconds.  Plus it gives me a chance to use my new anthropologie tart pan!

Here's the recipe I used:

INGREDIENTS


Nonstick spray

2 1/2 cups grated cauliflower (about 1/2 a large head)

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
2 cloves garlic, sliced
4-5 slices prosciutto thinly sliced
2 handfuls of wild rocket/arugula
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Fresh basil leaves, optional

1/2 slice lemon

DIRECTIONS
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat oven to 425ºF.
  2. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater until you have two cups of cauliflower crumbles. Place in a large bowl and microwave for seven to eight minutes, or until soft. Remove from the microwave and let cool.
  3. Mix in the egg, one cup mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Once combined, pat into a 10-inch round on the prepared pizza pan. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
  4. Top the pizza with the sauce, 1/4 cup mozzarella, grape tomatoes, garlic, prosciutto and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven until melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Top with basil and arugula and squeeze of lemon before serving.
