cauliflower crust breakfast pizza

how many nights per week can a girl prep and serve breakfast-for-supper?  because really, for me, it could be every night.  excepting, of course, that i’d have mutiny, because the one thing my family likes more than breakfast is Mexican.  so it’d have to be divided time.  and if i could concoct a recipe for Mexican cauliflower crust breakfast pizza, it would be a win.

one note: i realize this may be offensive to some, but i have an evil tendency an occasional oversight in buying beautiful, fresh, local produce, getting busy and forgetting to use it.  so in this recipe, i actually use frozen cauliflower.
