For the Cauliflower Crust:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower or 3 cups riced cauliflower
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Toppings:
- ½ cup shredded cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or your choice
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes sliced
- ¼ cup baby spinach chopped
- 2 strips cooked bacon crumbled (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for spice
Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Crust
Rice the Cauliflower: Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble fine rice. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower.
Cook the Cauliflower: Microwave the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes, then let it cool. Using a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent a soggy crust.
Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Shape the Crust: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a round, thin pizza crust.
Bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the crust for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
Step 2: Add Toppings & Bake
Add Cheese & Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly. Add cherry tomatoes, spinach, and crumbled bacon (if using).
Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack two eggs over the pizza, spacing them apart.
Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
