Unbelievably believable keto pizza that tastes like the real deal!

As I mentioned in the last post, I recently decided to host a "cheat" night for Boyfriend considering he was feeling a little frustrated with his adventures in Ketosis. And if there's one thing I know Boyfriend loves more than almost anything, its pizza. I had given Meatza at try before and was pretty unimpressed with the result - frankly, it was just a little too meaty for my tastes. But I have heard of so many Ketos and Paleos rave about low-carb pizzas that I figured there had to be a recipe out there that was causing all the fuss. 

Enter The Most Amazing Keto-Friendly Pizza Recipe EVER. At first glance I thought it sounded a little tricky - did I mention that these alternative recipes have been known to make my palms sweat, because they do? But once you get over the fact that "Riced Cauliflower" is just shredded cauliflower, it stops seeming so scary and is, in fact, quite easy and fast to prepare - oh, and its SUPER affordable. 

I nearly forgot to snap a photo before I dug in, it looked

and smelled so good! 

Here are the ingredients you'll need: 

- Cauliflower, cooked.  (I bought a bag of frozen and then just nuked it for 4 minutes)

- Pizza sauce (I used Ragu as it was the lowest-carb pizza sauce that my local grocer had on the shelves   

  at the time) 

- Mozarella (at least a cup)

- Whatever cheese topping you want (I used Kraft Italian blend). 

- Whatever veggies or meat toppings you want

- Parsley, dried.

- Oregano, dried (or whatever italian seasonings your heart desires). 

- 1 egg

- Salt to taste

Yeah, thats it! 

Okay, before we get started, I need to tell you that this recipe is really a personal sized pizza. I personally wish I had doubled the recipe so that it was enough for two people, but instead Boyfriend and I both had to suffice with just two slices. Although it really only took about a half hour to whip up, so if you decide you need more it won't take you anytime at all to prepare another pizza. 

Okay, onto the pizza making process:

First, set your oven to 450 degrees. Then shred the cauliflower until you have a loosely packed cup. I found that the florets were a lot easier to shred than the stalks, so I set the stalks aside to use for another recipe - I have mentioned that I'm lazy, yes?

Mix that cup of cauliflower with 1 egg and 1 cup of mozzarella 

Once thoroughly incorporated, press the mixture flat onto a greased pizza pan and sprinkle generously with the dried italian seasoning of your choosing. 

Bake for 12-15 minutes. 

Once the crust is baked change the oven settings to high broil. 

Top the crust with 1/4 cup of sauce, the toppings of your choice and cheese. 

Broil until cheese is melted (about 3-4 minutes). 

Serve immediately and enjoy!
