Tonight for dinner we tried a Cauliflower pizza crust, and it was awesome. In our house we eat a lot of cauliflower but Carter does not like to eat it without dip… He does however love pizza, so I figured I at least had a 50% fighting chance of this meal being a success.
The recipe is basic and easy
Ingredients
1 large head of Cauliflower
1 1/2 cup of cheese (I used cheddar)
1 egg (you can add in another one if you want, but 1 is good enough)
Oregano (your preference on amount)
Dash of salt & pepper
Oil to grease pan
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Using a grater, grate the cauliflower. If you decide to use a food processor make sure it’s not pureed.
Put all grated cauliflower into a microwaveable bowl and microwave for 7 minutes.
I do not use water as I find the cauliflower retains enough moisture from when it gets washed.
Once the cauliflower is done in the microwave mix in egg, cheese, and spices.
Grease pan (I use a little bit of coconut oil)
Spread mixed ingredients in a pan evenly. I use a 9 inch pie plate but it is just a preference.
Put in the oven to cook for 12-15 minutes. This is where you will need to watch because there is a fine line between this browning a bit and burning.
Once out of the oven make your pizza. Be creative- use whatever strikes your fancy. Tonight we used some chicken and cheese, but the possibilities are endless. My all time favourite – goat cheese, sautéed onions and cranberries. I know it sounds weird, but it is honestly to die for.
**I only had cheddar cheese in the house so I had to use that. The pizza was way too greasy. I will stick with a different cheese next time. Also while there was a hint of cauliflower taste is wasn’t overpowering. From prep time to on the table this was a 45 minute meal.**
