Ingredients

• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

Place the broccoli florets in a food processor. Pulse until they have a rice-like consistency. This should make approximately 3 cups of broccoli rice.

Step 3

Transfer the broccoli rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes to soften the broccoli. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once the broccoli is cool enough to handle, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a firm crust.

Step 5

In a large bowl, mix the drained broccoli rice with eggs, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Flatten and shape it into a pizza crust approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and set.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Add your desired pizza toppings and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the toppings are hot and bubbly.

Step 9

Slice and serve your broccoli pizza crust topped with your favorite ingredients. Enjoy!
