Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic in oil for about 5 minutes until translucent and tender.
    1 yellow onion, 1 T minced garlic, 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Add ground chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
    .75-1lb ground italian chicken
  • Cut cauliflower into florets, wash, and shred using the shredder attachment of your food processor or a hand shredder.
    1 medium head cauliflower
  • Spray the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with a cooking spray layer, then cover the bottom with shredded cauliflower, and then add the meat/onion mixture on top.
  • Whisk eggs, egg whites, pizza sauce, pizza seasoning, and parmesan in a small bowl.
    ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, 1 cup liquid egg whites, 2 large eggs, 14 ounces pizza sauce, 1 T pizza seasoning
  • Poor egg mixture over cauliflower/meat and mix until combined.  Top with ½ cup mozzarella and ⅓ cup chopped parsley. Optional to top with pepperoni! 
    ⅓ cup chopped parsley, ½ cup mozzarella, 10 ounces pepperoni topping 
  • Bake 60 minutes at 375F.  30 minutes covered with foil and 25-30 minutes not covered with foil.  It’s done when a crust forms on the outside and is completely set (doesn’t jiggle when you shake it.) Let stand for 10-15 minutes.
     

Notes

*Note - if after 80 minutes of baking, you feel like it isn't going to set.  Just take it out and let it sit on the counter.  Likely it will firm up!
