Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of cauliflower about 2 heads
  • 500 g of pizza mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup of pizza sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons of omega oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of oregano

Instructions

  • First - cut and wash your cauliflower - break it up into small florets.
  • Next - pulse it into a snow-like texture in your Vitamix.
  • Now - time to toast the cauliflower snow. In a big pan, over medium heat, add in 1 1/2 tablespoons of omega oil and cook the cauliflower snow for about 10-12 minutes. Once it's done, lay it out to cool...about 10 minutes. Put all the snow in a dishcloth and squeeze out any excess moisture - put in a bowl and set aside.
  • Shred the pizza mozzarella.
  • Grab the bowl the snow and add in 1 cup of shredded cheese, the egg, 1/2 tablespoon of oregano and some salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Lay out parchment paper onto your baking sheet. Plop down the cauliflower mixture and form into an even crust. Oil the crust with the remaining omega oil.
  • Bake in the oven at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile - cook your turkey bacon. Cut up into small chunks and sauté for about 8 minutes until crispy and cooked. Also, get the pizza sauce ready.
  • Pull your crust out of the oven.
  • Top with sauce, bacon and cheese - put back in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is nice and melty.
