- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cups Grated Mozzarella Cheese
- 18 teaspoons Pepper
- 18 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Oregano

- 1.
- Put chopped cauliflower in the food processor and pulse well until it turns into a paste.
- This will take about 2 minutes.
- 2.
- Put cauliflower paste into a sheet of cheesecloth and squeeze it over the sink until all of the liquid is out.
- Let it sit a few minutes inside the cheesecloth.
- You will squeeze again in a couple minutes.
- 3.
- In a small skillet add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add your minced garlic and saute about 2 minutes over medium heat.
- Set aside.
- 4.
- Squeeze your cauliflower again in the cheesecloth to remove any remaining liquid.
- 5.
- In a large bowl mix cauliflower paste with sauteed garlic, and all remaining crust ingredients.
- Make sure you mix well.
- 6.
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray non-stick spray on a 12 spring form pan (cheesecake pan).
- I also place parchment paper on the bottom and spray the paper with olive oil non-stick spray again just in case it sticks.
- Pour the crust mixture into the pan.
- Form an even layer on the bottom of the pan with cauliflower mixture.
- Pat down along all of the edges until it looks like a crust.
- 7.
- Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until golden brown and slightly firm to touch.
- Sides will be a darker shade of brown and thats OK.
- 8.
- Remove from oven and take crust out of the spring form pan.
- Place your crust on a baking sheet and add pizza sauce and mozzarella.
- Bake for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top with fresh tomatoes and basil.
- This is best served immediately!
