Broccoli crust: 4 small crowns broccoli 3 eggs 1½ cups shredded mozzarella 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 large cloves garlic, minced 3 tbs fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 tsp each onion powder, dried oregano + salt black pepper to taste Toppings: 1 cup shredded mozzarella 1 oz pepperoni slices 2 tbs grated parmesan Garnish: chili pepper flakes, parsley + marinara for dipping Instructions: Broccoli crust: Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Steam your broccoli crowns whole for about 8 minutes or until fork tender. Transfer to a cutting board, remove the stem parts and snack on them. Chop the florets tiny. Transfer to a cheese cloth or thin and clean dish towel and proceed to ring out as much of the liquids as possible. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, eggs, 1½ cups mozzarella, 1/3 cup parmesan, garlic, parsley, onion powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to your baking sheet and gently spread out the mixture, packing it together and forming an oval shape. The crust should be about 1½ inches high. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Assembly: Once the crust is done, remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with the remaining mozzarella, pepperoni and grated parmesan. Pop back in the oven on BROIL for a few minutes or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chili pepper flakes, parsley and dip into marinara sauce. Notes: 4 small crowns of broccoli is about 3-4 cups packed riced broccoli. Use alternative toppings like mushrooms, onions, olives to make this pie vegetarian.
