If you are looking for lower carb or no grain options in your meals, this recipe for a pizza crust is a surprising substitute. It has goat cream cheese in it, and that gives it a tangy, but mellow flavor.
Sundays seem to be a day of interesting recipes. I had read this recipe before the last shopping trip and had picked up the goat cream cheese that is called for. All the other ingredients are generally on hand anyway.
While it may be possible to make 1 big pizza, I suggest making 4 individual pizzas
- Ingredients:
- 1 medium-size cauliflower, grated or finely ground in a food processor.
- 3.5 ounces goat’s cream cheese
- 1 egg
- Salt and black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- To make the crust, add the cauliflower to a pot of boiling water and boil for 5 minutes.
- Drain, then wrap in a thin towel or cheese cloth and squeeze out any excess water. I placed my towel in a colander and then twisted the towel to squeeze out the water. Note! The towel gets very hot soaking up the boiling water.
- In a bowl, mix the grated cauliflower with the cream cheese and egg, and season. Do this while the cauliflower is still hot so that the cream cheese melts and mixes easily.
- Divide the cauliflower mix into four portions and, using your hands, shape the crusts on the sheet. They should be about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until firm and golden.
- While the crusts are baking, prep your favorite toppings. I diced up 1 left over BBQ chick breast, 2 turkey sausage patties, 1 whole garlic (~6 cloves), a couple small tomatoes, and shredded some Colby cheese.
- When the pizza crusts are ready, spread about 1 tablespoon sauce around and close to the edge. I used ready made pizza sauce. Add the rest of your toppings.
- Bake the pizzas for about 10 minutes at 450F, until the cheese is golden.
- Let pizzas set for a few minutes before serving.
