I found this recipe from Katie Lee of Food Network.  I've never tried this type of crust substitute. 

Have you?

Is it worth bothering?

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower, stalk removed
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until fine. Steam in a steamer basket and drain well. (I like to put it on a towel to get all the moisture out.) Let cool.

In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with the mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, salt, garlic powder and eggs. Transfer to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a circle, resembling a pizza crust. Bake for 20 minutes.

Add desired toppings and bake an additional 10 minutes.

My daughter made it and she said it was really good!

She also makes the best mashed cauliflower that my son thought was mashed potatoes when he first tried it

She puts lots of butter and enough salt and keeps some lumps😋

@house_cat I would be interested in this also, I know that our Costco sells Cauliflower rice which would be a big time saver but how is the taste?  I make a cauiflower casserole that is divine (not low calorie though) and generally enjoy cauliflower so it will be interesting to see others point of view?

Never had it, never will...

Life it short.  If you want to eat pizza, eat pizza!  A good crust is part of the experience, imho, you just can't mess with that!

I'm cooking the cauliflower now, to make a crust for my dinner tomorrow.  I'm hoping that will give it plenty of time to drain, so it's not soggy.

I'll follow up with a review.

@house_cat thanks I am interested in hearing your review!

I have had it.  IMO it tastes really good.  Much better than gluten free crust made with rice and corn flour.

You can buy riced cauliflower if you don’t want to bother making it yourself.  It goes together quickly.

@Carmie Thank you, now the only question is "Can I get my husband to keep an open mind", he is pretty good about trying new things though, so it should not be a hard sell, keeping my fingers crossed!

@CareBears  Don’t tell him what it is before he tastes it.  Cut it into squares instead of triangles.  It doesn’t have to be pizza.  It could be a yummy appetizer.

He was not sure about the Cauliflower Casserole I make, but he loved it, and requests it quite often now, so he should be no problem trying this, besides I am the boss, LOL!
