CAULIFLOWER BREAD STICKS or Pizza: Meal for One

[1 Complete Lean & Green Meal, 2-1/2 Condiments]

 

 

Ingredients:

1 cup raw grated cauliflower (2 Green)

1 egg, well beaten  (1/3 Lean) 

4 ounces reduced fat mozzarella, shredded (2/3 Lean)

1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 Condiment)

1/4 cup chives, chopped (1 Condiment)

Marinara Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup Italian diced tomatoes (1 Greens)

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (1/2 Condiment)

Pinch Salt or Pepper

Directions:

1. Puree Italian diced tomatoes and seasoning in a personal blender. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Mix cauliflower, egg (1/4 cup egg substitute can be used) and 2-1/2 ounces reduced-fat shredded mozzarella, and garlic together in a bowl until combined.
4. Line a small baking sheet with parchment and lightly Pam sprayed.
5. Scoop mixture onto parchment about 1 -1/2 inch deep in the shape of a rectangle, as thin as you can OR you can make small circle ones.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 min or until starts to hold its shape, firm. Lay a second sheet of parchment paper lined baking sheet over the crust to flip over to continue baking for 15 more minutes at 425 degrees F.
7. Remove from oven to cut with a pizza cutter to separate. Add remaining 1-1/2 ounce reduced-fat cheese then bake until cheese is melted.
8. Serve with marinara sauce OR make a pizza with the sauce and use a little less cheese to add meat ( or *veggie sausage or Morning Star Meal starter crumbles for Vegetarian Friendly recipe *IF you can have SOY). 
   
   *I make MULTIPLE batches of this at one time. Follow Steps 1 -6 above. Let them cool completely, then FREEZE them in individual servings for later use. You can change the seasoning or add crushed red pepper to spice it up a bit OR diced jalapeno.  **To use: Just Bake the frozen crust on a parchment paper lined baking stone at 400 degrees F. for approximately 10-15 minutes, let set 5 minutes while you do steps 7-8 above adding the toppings, then bake an additional 5-8 minutes until cheese melts
