Cauli-Crust Pizza

I know what you're thinking. The zucchini fries were pushing it. But a cauliflower-crust pizza? Stay with me here:

INGREDIENTS

Crust:
1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 egg
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2tsp fennel
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp parsley

Toppings:
cheese, sauce, pepperoni... whatever you would normally top a pizza with

DIRECTIONS

"Rice" the cauliflower by putting it in the blender until it's the size of rice. Place in a bowl and microwave 2 minutes to cook.

Mix together the cooked cauliflower with the rest of the crust ingredients. Spread on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.Cook on 450 until brown and edges almost look burnt- about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from oven, top with toppings, and return to oven under broiler until cheese melts.VERDICT

I have to admit, it wasn't as bad as we expected. I wasn't very good though either. I had two batches. The first batch of cauliflower was over-processed and so the batter was very smooth. I did better with the second batch. To me, the first batch tasted better. You could almost pretend it was a real pizza. The second batch with the larger-sized cauliflower had a funky texture. It was like eating pizza on top of an omelet? Or maybe hash browns? Definitely different.On the other side though, the kids didn't notice a thing. They ate their pizza like it was delivery. Not one funny look, not one crumb left behind.
