Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the stem and leaves from the cauliflower head and chop it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice.
- Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, or until it is cooked and soft. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- Place the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding your favorite toppings.
- Once the toppings are added, return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice the pizza and serve hot. Enjoy!
