Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Grain-Free Cauliflower Crust Pizza can be topped with any of your favorite pizza toppings!

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or goat cheese if preferred)
• 1 pastured egg, beaten
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt olive oil (optional) pizza sauce, shredded cheese
• Your choice of pre-cooked veggie toppings such as mushrooms, onions, peppers* OR add nitrate-free pepperoni for meat lovers.

Directions

To “Rice” the Cauliflower: Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Grate the whole head with a cheese grater. Heat up coconut oil in a frying pan, and once it’s warm, add grated cauliflower. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower seems to be cooked.

One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Make the Pizza Crust: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9″ round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning. (Tip: It’s easy to double or triple the recipe, and then fill the cookie sheet with the mixture making a large rectangular pizza.)

Bake crust at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.

Remove crust from oven, add toppings: Add sauce, your favorite toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes). Enjoy!

*Note that toppings need to be precooked since you are only broiling for a few minutes.
