Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package Green Giant Cauliflower Crust
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sweet onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 0.5 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) cilantro chopped
  • 0.25 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp cumin
  • 0.25 tsp chili powder
  • 0.25-0.5 tsp jalapeno minced (optional)
  • 2 tomatoes diced or 1/4 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 2-3 tbsp (30-45 ml) tomato sauce
  • 0.25 tsp sugar
  • 4 oz (113 g) breakfast sausage mild Italian sausage (4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled or a meat alternative)
  • 1 cups (237 ml) mozzarella cheese shredded or a combination of your favorite cheeses
  • 4 eggs
  • Garnish: chopped parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (223°C).
  2. Carefully place the cauliflower pizza crust on a large cookie sheet or pizza stone and bake for 18 minutes.
  3. While the pizza crust is baking, prepare the sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and add onion, red pepper, and garlic.
  4. Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes.
  5. Add cilantro, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and minced jalapeno to the vegetables and stir.
  6. Combine chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, and a little sugar. Add to the vegetables.
  7. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. While the sauce is simmering, cook the breakfast sausage, mild Italian sausage, 4 strips of bacon, or a meat alternative.
  9. Remove the pizza crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of sauce over the crust.
  10. Make 4 wells for the eggs.
  11. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce, building up a small edge around the wells.
  12. Crack a small egg into each well, trying not to break the yolks.
  13. Sprinkle sausage on top of the cheese and around the eggs.
  14. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-9 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, the egg whites are cooked, and the yolks are still soft.
  15. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes in the shakshuka sauce.
  • If you don’t have a pizza stone, baking the crust on a rimmed baking sheet works well.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
