Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower riced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rice the cauliflower by pulsing florets in a food processor until fine and crumb-like.
- Steam the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes, then let it cool. Place it in a clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
- In a large bowl, mix the squeezed cauliflower, mozzarella, parmesan, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a 12-inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
- Add your favorite toppings and bake again for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the cauliflower as possible to avoid a soggy crust.
