Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Grate about half a head of cauliflower using the largest size on a box cheese grater until it resembles mozzarella cheese.

Microwave the grated cauliflower for about 7-8 minutes until soft.

Let the cauliflower cool before mixing with the other ingredients.

In a bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower, 1 egg, plenty of mozzarella cheese, a little Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray.

Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and press it down into a thin crust.

Spray the top of the crust with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake the crust for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Spread pizza sauce over the crust, leaving about 1/2 inch along the edge.

Add more mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.

Slice heirloom tomatoes and arrange them on the pizza.

Sprinkle minced garlic over the tomatoes.

Add red pepper flakes to taste.

Return the pizza to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Chiffonade fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the pizza after baking.
