Ingredients
Crust
  • 1 Trader Joe's Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Mushrooms
  • ½ tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 2 cups thinly sliced white or cremini mushrooms
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
Topping the Crust
  • ⅓ cups cashew sour cream
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ½ avocado, sliced thinly
  • Fresh cracked pepper
  • Chili flakes, optional
Instructions
  1. First, gather your mise en place. (mi ˑ zɑ̃ ˑ plas) and preheat your even to 450.
  2. Unpack the pizza and place it on your pizza pan. I actually like to remove the top piece from my broiler pan with slits in it and place the crust atop (see pic above). This helps the hot air from the oven circulate through the crust as it cooks aiding in a more even bake. Follow the directions, cooking 10-12 minutes on one side, flipping the pizza, and cooking 10-12 minutes on the other. You can vary your cook time depending on how soft or crunchy you like your crust. Artist choice!
  3. While the pizza crust is baking, heat a sauté pan to medium heat. Add your oil, then mushrooms to the pan. Sprinkle in your salt, pepper and oregano. Let brown on this side for 2 minutes, then toss the mushrooms. Allow them to cook for 2 more minutes or until they are browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  4. When the crust is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven and place on your serving plate.
  5. Spread the cashew sour cream onto the cauliflower crust. Next top with arugula, followed by the sautéed mushrooms. Add your thin avocado slices in a pinwheel fashion. Lastly, garnish with a few cracks of black pepper and a sprinkle of chili flakes if you wish.
  6. Cut your pizza into 8 even slices and enjoy!
