Directions

• Don’t know how to rice cauliflower? Let me teach you the quick easy way.
• I purchased a large head of cauliflower, brought it home – washed it thoroughly, and then patted it dry. I then chopped it into small bite size pieces and tossed them into my food processor and processed it until it was the size of rice. Like this:

• After you’ve riced it, place it in a microwave safe dish and put it in there for about 7-8 minutes or so.
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F
• Grab a pizza pan and spray it with a non-stick spray. By the way, don’t be stingy with the spray. If you don’t use enough, that pizza will be difficult to get off the pan. Trust me on that. You can also use parchment paper if you have it. It works pretty well. I still spray the parchment paper lightly.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg whites, mozzarella, oregano and garlic.
• Press evenly in the pan. Push it down into all the corners making sure its stuck to itself pretty well. It will not be a pretty circle, but it won’t matter when you taste it, I promise.

• Sprinkle with some parmesan cheese if you want some more flavor.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes. I strongly recommend checking it at about the 12 minute mark and then allow it too cook for remaining time if needed. This crust is not like a typical BREAD crust… it sometimes won’t stay together as well and will require a fork and a spoon, but I also know that once you taste it, you just won’t care. At all.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Add your sauce, toppings and cheese.
• Place under a broiler for about 30-60 seconds, just until the cheese is melted. Watch it carefully or it will burn.
