Quinoa Pizza Crust

This recipe is awesome for a delicious and very healthy pizza crust!  It does take a little bit of time to make, but well worth it!  I didn't create the recipe but found it on Amanda Finks webiste  http://www.thewholesomedish.com/quinoa-crust-pizza-cheesy-garlic-bread/




Here's what you do!
-Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- Put 2 tsp of olive in a hot pan. Rinse off 1/2 cup quinoa and put in the oil.  Stir around for 5-6 minutes just lightly browning the outside.  Then add 1 cup water (1 part quinoa to 2 parts water)
-After Quinoa is cooked, let it cook a little more to help get all the water soaked up or evaporated.
-Cool for 10 minutes.
-As the Quinoa is cooling, mix together:
    -2 eggs
    -1 tsp garlic
    -1/2 tsp basil
    -1/2 tsp oregano
    -1/2 tsp baking powder
- Mix above mixture with cooled quinoa.  Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.  Mix well
-Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet or pizza pan.  Spread the mixture across the paper and even it out until it's about 1/4" thick.  
-Place in oven for 15-20 minutes (when it looks cooked)
-Take out and add favorite sauce and toppings. Pop back into the oven for 5-10 minutes until the toppings are done the way you like.
-ENJOY!
