Ingredients

• 400 g Cauliflower
• 1 pc Egg
• 30 g Parmesan, grated
• 125 g Mozzarella
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 100 g Passata
• 1 pc Red bell pepper
• 20 g Black olives, pitted

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C conventional heat and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Divide the cauliflower into florets, steam them in a pot with a little water for about 5 minutes until soft, drain, and squeeze well in a kitchen towel.
3. Finely chop the cauliflower with a hand blender or a knife and mix in a bowl with the egg, 30 g Parmesan, 75 g of the mozzarella, oregano, salt, and pepper to form a pliable dough.
4. Shape the dough on the baking paper into two large, round bases about 18 cm in diameter and brush them with a little olive oil.
5. Bake the bases for about 15 minutes until golden brown and firm.
6. Season the passata with salt and pepper and spread it over the bases.
7. Remove the seeds from the pepper and cut it into thin strips. Roughly dice the remaining 50 g of mozzarella and halve the olives.
8. Arrange the pepper strips and olives into faces: olives as eyes, pepper as mouth and teeth, mozzarella as nose or decoration.
9. Bake the pizzas for another 5 to 8 minutes until the cheese has melted, and serve hot.
