Ingredients
Instructions
Clean the cauliflower, remove the stalks and grate.
Place in a microwave-safe container and cook at maximum temperature for 5 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, chop the mozzarella cheese and cut off the woody ends of the asparagus.
Once the cauliflower is done, chop and transfer to a clean kitchen towel and drain to remove as much water as possible.
Next, mix with the egg white and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Place on a parchment paper lined baking pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) for 10 minutes to cook the dough.
Meanwhile, microwave the asparagus for 5 minutes or place in a pot of boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Remove and drain.
Once the dough is browned, brush with oil, add the garlic, asparagus and remaining cheese.
Add a pinch of salt and return to the oven for approximately 10 minutes.
Remove, garnish with the basil leaves and serve hot.
