Equipment

pizza pan
blender
microwave safe bowl
kitchen towel

Ingredients

1 medium cauliflower head leaves discarded and chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
kosher salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° and line a pizza pan with parchment paper. Using a cutting board and butcher's knife, chop up pieces of the cauliflower and place them in a blender. Blend until cauliflower rice is formed. Then, transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwavable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. This will help tenderize the veggies.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwavable safe bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. This will help tenderize the veggies.
After cauliflower is cooled off enough to handle place in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as you can.
Place cauliflower in a mixing bowl and add eggs, cheese, and spices. Mix well to combine.
Dump cauliflower dough on the prepared pizza pan and press down to form a circle like a pizza. Make sure to leave a little lip on the outside. I also used a rubber spatula and pressed the whole crust down to make it as flat as possible.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from oven and add desired toppings and cook again for another 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.

Notes

How to keep my cauliflower crust from falling apart.

Cauliflower itself contains a lot of moisture. The key to removing it is to try and squeeze out as much water as you possibly can. This is a very important step in the cooking process.

How to store cauliflower pizza crust.

Store your crust in an airtight container in the fridge. I keep a piece of parchment paper in between each slice to prevent sticking. You can keep the pizza in your fridge for 3-5 days.

How do you reheat cauliflower crust?

I recommend reheating your crust in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit until the cheese is bubbly or tossing a slice in the toaster oven to crisp it up.

How can the kids help?

Have your child pull off the cauliflower leaves and throw them in the garbage.

I chopped the cauliflower and my 1-year-old threw the cauliflower florets into the blender.

Teach your child how to use a blender.

Have them add the remaining ingredients.

Mix all ingredients in the mixing bowl.
