Somewhat late for me re: this trend as I've sworn for years I'd never make Cauliflower Crust Pizza. Never say never.
I remembered that I had a head of Cauliflower in the fridge and before it went unused I had to do something with it. Roasted Cauliflower, Cauliflower Rice - been there, done that. My wife couldn't believe her ears when I suggested Cauliflower Crust Pizza. But hey we're home and I'm always up for new (even if they're old) things, so why not give it a try. :shock:
Cauliflower -
After being cut up and run through the food processor -
As the recipes all state, squeeze out as much water as possible in a tea towel. When you think you've squeezed out enough, squeeze some more -
Mixed with 2 Eggs, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Italian Seasoning to make a "dough" -
Spread onto a baking sheet, spray with some EVOO cooking spray to help brown it -
Meanwhile, out on the Blackstone -
Topping #1. Bacon -
Topping #2. Shrimp & Garlic -
Assembled, with Tomato and Mozzarella -
And it's done -
Ya know, for something I've resisted making for many years 'cause I thought it was too trendy, it was pretty darn good. A keeper of a recipe.
I think next time I may spread the cauliflower dough a bit thinner to make it a little crispier, but this turned out quite decent for a first attempt.
Thanks for checking in on this post.
