Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Process the broccoli in a food processor or shred it with a cheese grater until it is the size and texture of rice (about 2–3 cups riced).
  • Place the riced broccoli in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 1–2 minutes, or until the broccoli is steamed. Let it cool for at least 1 minute.
  • Transfer the steamed broccoli onto a clean washcloth. Gather the cloth and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible, until you are left with a dry ball of broccoli.
  • Return the drained broccoli to the large bowl. Add 2 eggs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional). Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Pour the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape and press it into a pizza crust about 1/2 inch thick, smoothing the top and edges so it holds together.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
  • Remove the crust from the oven. Spread 1/4 cup pizza sauce over the crust, then sprinkle 1 cup cheese on top and add any optional veggies.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake an additional 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and toppings are heated.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
