Cauliflower Pizza Crust

• 
  1.5 pounds cauliflower, florets
  


• 
  1/2 cup shredded cheese, or 1/3 cup soft cheese
  


• 
  1 egg, beaten
  


• 
  1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  


• 
  salt and pepper, to taste
  

Pesto Chicken Pizza

• 
  1/3 cup pesto sauce
  


• 
  1/2 cup shredded chicken
  


• 
  3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  


• 
  2 cups (packed) baby spinach
  


• 
  2 garlic cloves, minced
  

Margherita Pizza

• 
  1/3 cup marinara sauce
  


• 
  4 oz mozzarella ball, sliced
  


• fresh basil leaves


• red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.


• Remove the cauliflower florets from the stem or use frozen and thawed cauliflower florets. Grate them using a food processor or box grater.


• Add the cauliflower rice to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften. Alternatively, you could saute the cauliflower rice in a pan on medium heat on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Then let it cool to the touch.


• Transfer the cauliflower rice into a nut milk bag or thin kitchen towel. Drain the cauliflower by squeezing it until all the excess moisture is out. Squeeze as hard as you can!


• Place the drained cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, egg and seasonings. Use your hands to mix everything together to form the pizza dough.


• On a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough dough down into an even circle. The diameter should be around 9 inches. If you have a pizza stone, that's even better and will produce a crispier crust.


• Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly golden, then remove from oven. You could also bake for 20 minutes and flip the crust over, then bake an additional 5-10 minutes for an even crispier crust.


• Add the toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
