Ingredients
1/2 head cauliflower
2 T fat-free feta cheese
1/4 c. 100% liquid egg whites
1/2 c. diced tomatoes

1/4 c. will remain diced
1/4 c. fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese
optional: herbs & spices
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut head of cauliflower in half. Put half away.
Place cauliflower florets into a food processor. Blend.
Place "cauliflower snow" onto a towel.
Note: Reusable towels work best.
Wring out as much liquid as possible.
Note: Do not skip this step. Neglecting this step leads to a soggy crust… Yuck!
Place dry cauliflower snow in a bowl.
Optional step: Add herbs and spices.
Add 1/2 c. 100% liquid egg whites. Mix using hands.
Add 1/2 c. fat-free feta cheese. Mix using hands.
Spread pizza dough on a lightly greased pizza pan.
Note: Parchment paper is ideal, but a light coating of Pam will work.
Bake on 450 degrees for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Note: Crust must be fully cooked before adding toppings. Adjust time if necessary.
Pulse 1/4 c. diced tomatoes in food processor for 1-2 seconds.
When crust is fully cooked, add pulsed tomatoes.
Add remaining 1/4 c. diced tomatoes.
Add 1/4 c. fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for additional 10-12 minutes. Adjust as necessary.
Enjoy!
