Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, about 2 lbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the cauliflower. Cut it into florets.
- Process the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble coarse rice.
- Microwave the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, steam it for 5-7 minutes.
- Let the cooked cauliflower cool slightly. Transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower. This is a crucial step to avoid a soggy crust.
- In a bowl, combine the dried cauliflower with the beaten egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a pizza crust shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven, add your favorite toppings, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Ensure the cauliflower is as dry as possible after squeezing out the moisture.
- You can add other seasonings like basil or onion powder to the crust mixture.
- This crust is best enjoyed immediately after baking.
