Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the chopped broccoli florets until they resemble rice-like texture.
- Transfer the pulsed broccoli to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with a lid or a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Allow the steamed broccoli to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the broccoli and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed broccoli, eggs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer the broccoli mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a thin and even pizza crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once cooked, allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
