Sweet Potato Crust Pizza

• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 egg
• 8oz of Cream Cheese
• 4oz pesto
• Parmesan cheese - 2 cup package (will probably not use it all)
• Pizza Toppings:
• spinach, sliced mushrooms, sausage, sliced black olives, sliced cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese (plus anything else you might want)

1. Preparing the crust:
2. Shred the sweet potatoes into a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 4 minutes. Stir. Heat for an additional 4 minutes.
3. Add 1 egg and a small handful of parmesan cheese into the sweet potatoes.
4. Mix thoroughly and spread onto a circular 15" pizza pan (shape into a thin crust)
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook sweet potato crust for about 15 minutes.
6. While Crust is cooking:
7. Prepare Sauce:
8. Mix the cream cheese and pesto together in a bowl.
9. Prepare toppings:
10. Saute Spinach in olive oil or butter
11. Slice cherry tomatoes - you may want to set them on a paper towel or cook them in the oven for a bit to remove some of the moisture.
12. Pizza construction:
13. after the crust has baked for 15 minutes, begin adding the toppings.
14. With a spoon, dollop the sauce onto the crust. Place back into the oven for a minute or two then pull out and spread evenly on the crust.
15. *Make sure all toppings are pre-cooked (ex. sausage) as they will not be in the oven long enough to cook fully during the final baking process.
16. Bump oven temperature to 425 degrees.
17. Once you have all of the toppings on the pizza, place in the oven until the cheese begins to brown - approximately 15 minutes.
18. Remove from the oven, let cool, and serve.
