Cauliflower Calzones!

For the crust:
 1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
½ c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1  egg, lightly beaten
½ t. salt
½ t. oregano
¼ t. black pepper

 For the filling:
6 T. pizza sauce
½ c. mozzarella cheese
 pepperoni
green peppers



 Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease liberally with olive oil.
In a food processor rice the cauliflower florets in batches.  Transfer cauliflower rice to a microwave dish and microwave on high for 8 minutes, until cooked.  Squeeze out as much moisture as you can with a towel.  Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and add egg, mozzarella, oregano, sea salt and pepper. Mix well.  Using your hands, press the mixture onto a greased parchment paper lined baking sheet and shape into discs.  Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.  Remove from the oven and, top the half of each disc with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and peppers. Using a large spatula carefully lift the half of the disc without filling and fold it over the other part.  Push the edges  together and seal in the filling.  Bake in the oven for an additional 12 minutes or until golden.
