Healthy Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Cherry Tomatoes and Arugula
I remember visiting the farmers market in Tallinn one summer, the aroma of fresh vegetables was intoxicating. That's where I first got the inspiration for this pizza! The vibrant colors of the tomatoes against the green arugula are a feast for the eyes, and the textures are simply delightful.

In a bowl, combine cauliflower rice, egg, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a pizza shape. Press down to form a thin crust.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.

Slice and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the cauliflower crust before adding toppings. Also, don't overload the crust with too many toppings, or it might become soggy.
