Spinach Artichoke Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I have a healthy obsession with cauliflower crust. It's really easy to make and it's an amazing alternative to regular pizza. I did a lot of trial and error to find the best recipe, and now that I have it there are endless possibilities. I also love spinach artichoke dip and thought that combining the two would be a genius idea.

Spinach and Artichoke Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients for crust:

1 head of cauliflower, riced, cooked, and drained (in-depth directions to follow)*

1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese 

1/4 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese

1 egg 

2 Tbl chopped fresh basil (optional)

1 Tbl garlic powder

1 tsp black pepper

Pinch of salt

Directions for Crust:

Put a pizza stone or cookie sheet in the oven before preheating it to 400 degrees. Mix all of the crust ingredients in a bowl. Take a piece of parchment paper and spray thoroughly with cooking spray. Place the dough on the paper and spread with a spatula to your desired thickness (1/8-1/4 inch) in any shape you want. Place the parchment paper on the cookie sheet or stone and bake for 15-20 minutes, or as long as it takes for the crust to turn golden on top.

Ingredients for dip:

1 13.75 can of artichoke hearts

1 10oz bag of frozen spinach, cooked and drained. 

1/2 cup light mayo

1/2 cup fat free plain Greek yogurt

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup onions

1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

2/3 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

1 tsp black pepper

Pinch of salt

Directions for dip:

In a food processor, lightly chop artichoke hearts, garlic, an onions. Add mixture to mixing bowl with all other ingredients. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbling (or the pizza crust is done). When the crust is ready, simply spread the dip on top and pop it back I'm the oven for another 10 minutes so the flavors can combine. You can add more cheese an garlic powder on top if you want extra flavor!

A quarter of the pizza is only 300 calories!!

Enjoy :)

*to make the cauliflower:

Cut the florets and add to the food processor until the texture is very fine. Add cauliflower to a bowl and microwave, covered, for 4 minutes. Let cool, and using my favorite kitchen accessory ever, CHEESE CLOTH, drain out all of the liquid. If you don't have cheese cloth (it's dirt cheap on Amazon), simply use paper towels to get the moisture out as well as you can.
