  • 12 ounces frozen cauliflower florets, thawed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup mozzarella, finely shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Toppings such as pizza sauce, mozzarella and cooked sausage

 

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees and place a baking sheet in the oven.
  2. Pour the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice.
  3. Put the riced cauliflower in a towel and ring out the excess moisture.
  4. Add the egg and yogurt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the mozzarella, riced cauliflower, salt and cornstarch and mix until combined.
  5. Put the mixture on a large piece of parchment paper and use your hands to spread out the crust and use your fingers to press the sides up to create a crust.
  6. Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and place the crust on top.
