Veggie Deluxe Pizza

1 cup cauliflower
2/3 cup shredded mozarella
1 egg
6 baby spinach leaves
1 green onion diced
3 cherry tomatoes sliced
2 artichoke hearts chopped
1 teaspoon pesto
garlic salt
dried basil
oregano
fennel

Boil cauliflower with a generous amount of garlic salt until semi-soft, then let cool. Grate cauliflower and mix with egg and 1/2 cup mozarella cheese and spread onto round metal greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with basil, oregano and fennel and bake at 450* for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and spread basil over crust and add veggies and remaining cheese and bake another 3-5 minutes.
So, I didn't exactly make this one up, but it is definitely something I will make over and over again. Delish!
