Ingredients:

Cauliflower Crust Cheese Pizza

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Strain cooked cauliflower rice through a fine mesh sieve to remove as much water as possible*.
  2. Transfer cauliflower to a medium bowl. Add grated parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, ground pepper and 1 egg and stir until completely combined. 
  3. Transfer crust mixture to a rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan lined with parchment paper**. Top with a second sheet of parchment and press or roll cauliflower into a pizza crust shape. Remove the top sheet of parchment and brush the crust lightly with egg white. 
  4. Bake the crust for 25 minutes, flipping the crust to the other side after 15 minutes. Crust will not be fully baked.
  5. Remove par-baked crust from the oven and top with pizza sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Return to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is baked through with crispy browned edges.
  6. Top pizza with fresh basil before serving, if desired. 
     

Notes:

*It is essential to remove as much liquid as possible from the cauliflower. Use a rubber spatula or paper towels to press cauliflower in a sieve. 
**Do not skip the parchment paper. Cauliflower crust will stick and/or fall apart if baked directly on a cookie sheet. Parchment paper prevents this. 
***Try chopped green onions or chives as a topping too.

Garnish with fresh chopped basil, minced (optional).
