Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Wash and chop the cauliflower into florets. Transfer the florets to a food processor and pulse until you achieve a rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Once microwaved, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and allow it to cool slightly. When it is cool enough to handle, wrap the cauliflower in the towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Transfer the squeezed cauliflower to a mixing bowl. Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press the mixture into a flat, even disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust is set.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before adding your desired keto-friendly toppings and baking further if needed.
