1 Tbs Olive Oil

8 ounces Mushrooms sliced

1 green pepper cut into bite sized pieces

12 ounces Mozzarella cheese shredded (I would use more)

Directions:
1. Steam the cauliflower. Place cut cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl with 1 cup of water. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for approx. 3 mins. or until cauliflower is tender. Don't overcook!
