Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe:

Ingredients: 

4 cups raw cauliflower

1 egg, beaten

1/3 cup soft goat cheese (chèvre)

Pinch of salt

Here we go!

Preheat oven to 400F. 

Step 1: Begin making the cauliflower “rice”. 

Place the 4 cups raw cauliflower in a food processor until it reaches a rice like consistency.

Step 2: Cook & strain the rice. 

Fill a pot with one inch of water and bring to a boil. Add the “rice” and cover it. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes. Then, drain into a fine mesh drainer. *Secret trick: Once you’ve drained the rice, transfer it to a clean dishtowel (or cheese cloth). Wrap the steamed rice in the dish towel/cheese cloth and squeeze out all the excess water.

Step 3: Make the dough

In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, beaten egg, cheese and salt (or other spices) until super together. The texture won’t be what you are expecting, but don’t worry, it’ll work. Next, press the dough onto a non stick baking sheet (or line a baking sheet with parchment paper). It’ll look something like this:
