WHAT’S IN IT

2 1/2 cups riced cauliflower

2 eggs

1 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella, divided

3 Tbsp. grated parmesan

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 cup homemade tomato sauce

Cooking spray

1.6 oz turkey pepperoni slices, chopped

HOW TO MAKE IT

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

There is no need to pre-cook the cauliflower; blend it in the blender to make it finer, then add eggs, 1/4 mozzarella, parmesan, Italian seasoning and salt to the cauliflower.

Divide mixture evenly among 12 slots of a lightly greased standard-sized muffin pan. Press down lightly to form mini crusts. Bake for 20 minutes.

Top each mini cauliflower crust with tomato sauce, remaining cheese, pepperoni.

Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Makes 2 servings.
