Ingredients
Makes 1 pizza, 2 servings
- 500 g cauliflower florets
- 2 eggs (100 g)
- 100 g part-skim mozzarella, grated (half for the base, half for the top)
- 200 g skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 100 g tomato passata
- 80 g bell pepper, sliced
- 80 g mushrooms, sliced
- A few fresh basil leaves (5 g)
- 1 tsp olive oil (5 g)
- Salt, pepper and dried oregano (2 g)
Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C. Blitz the cauliflower to fine crumbs, steam or microwave it for 5 minutes and let it cool slightly.
- Tip the cauliflower into a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much water as you can — this is what makes the base crisp.
- Mix with the eggs, half the mozzarella and a pinch of salt, then press into a 28 cm round, about 5 mm thick, on a lined tray. Bake for 18 minutes until golden at the edges.
- Meanwhile, cook the chicken in the olive oil for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink inside; season with salt, pepper and oregano.
- Spread the passata over the base and add the chicken, pepper, mushrooms and the rest of the mozzarella.
- Bake for another 10 minutes, scatter with the basil and cut into slices.
