Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower riced, about 1 large head of cauliflower
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese I used a Tex Mex blend
- 3 teaspoons oregano
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese or more, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ā. Prepare 2 pizza dishes or a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make sure your cauliflower is roughly chopped into florets. Add the florets to your food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice.
- Place the cauliflower in a microwavable container and cover with lid. Microwave for 10 minutes. Let the cauliflower cool just until there's no more steam coming from it. Place the microwaved cauliflower in a large bowl and add the eggs, 2 cups of mozzarella, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix everything together.
- Separate the mixture in two and place each half onto the prepared baking sheets and shape into either a pizza crust, or a rectangular shape for the breadsticks.
- Bake the crust (no topping yet) for about 25 minutes or until nice and golden. Don't be afraid the crust is not soggy at all. Once golden, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and put back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Slice and serve.

Notes
- If you do not have a microwave, Iād recommend cooking the cauliflower first either in your oven or on the stovetop and then ricing it. Easiest would be to steam it and then ricing it.
- The cauliflower should not be soggy at all after microwaving it. If however, you find that it is soggy, place it on a few paper towels or cheesecloth and squeeze the water out of it.
- The crust can be frozen, already baked, and just thaw it out on the counter or microwave. Or add the cheese and place it back in the oven and bake it for a few minutes until the cheese melts and browns.
