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

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the cooked cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  5. 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.
  6. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  8. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding your favorite toppings.
  9. 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.
  10. Slice the pizza and serve hot. Enjoy!
