Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Happy Valentine’s Day! In our house, we celebrated with homemade pizza and heart sugar cookies.

I LOVE pizza. Some may remember me posting my pizza dough recipe a while back. I still like to make this dough for family and friends. Unfortunately, I have some food allergies and need to avoid bready foods as much as possible, which means none of that delicious dough for me. Now when I want pizza, I like to make a cauliflower crust. It still allows me my pepperoni and cheese fix and is a healthier option. 😊 This comes together very quickly and uses minimal ingredients (most of which you probably will already have on hand)!

I began by preheating the oven to 400 and steaming the cauliflower in the microwave. I placed the bag (still sealed) in the microwave and set it for 5 minutes on high. Then I lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper and sprayed it with cooking spray.

While the cauliflower cooked, I cracked two eggs into a bowl and then measured and added in the two cheeses and spices. I whisked these ingredients together and then added in the cooked cauliflower. Once it was mixed well, I poured it onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread it out so that it was even.

I cooked the crust for 20 minutes and then added on my toppings. Then it went back into the oven for another 10 minutes so that my toppings were heated through and the cheese was melted. Delicious!
