People have been buzzing about this cauliflower pizza crust for awhile now. So naturally, I just had to try it. I had my doubts that the ‘dough’ would even form a crust-like consistency, and it totally does! Freshly grated cauliflower serves as the base for the creative and delicious crust that acts just like traditional pizza.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients

2 small cauliflower heads, grated (about 4-5 cups grated)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp each of salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet (pizza pan or square baking sheet) with parchment paper.
    Grate the cauliflower and place in a large bowl. Microwave uncovered for 8-10 minutes (stirring half way through) or until soft. Remove from the microwave and let cool.
    Mix in the egg, both cheeses and salt and pepper. Once combined, pat into the prepared pizza pan. Brush lightly with cooking oil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
    Top the pizza with sauce and then toppings of your choice. Bake in the oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes
