Equipment

Food processor or box grater
Microwave-safe bowl
Clean kitchen towel
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Mixing bowl

Ingredients

For the cauliflower crust:

1 medium head cauliflower riced (about 2 pounds or 900 grams)
1 large egg
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (50 grams)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (24 grams)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (5 grams)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the toppings:

1 cup fresh spinach chopped (30 grams)
½ cup feta cheese crumbled (75 grams)
¼ cup full-fat cream cheese (56 grams)
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (25 grams)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rice the cauliflower by pulsing it in a food processor or grating it with a box grater until it resembles rice.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible, which is crucial for a crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a dough.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round pizza base about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
While the crust bakes, sauté the chopped spinach in a pan over medium heat until wilted, then set aside.
Once the crust is done, spread the cream cheese over it as the base sauce.
Top with sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and then slice and serve.

Notes

Ensure the cauliflower is thoroughly dried after microwaving to prevent a soggy crust.

Customize the toppings to your liking, but be mindful of the carb count to keep it keto-friendly.

The crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a quick meal option.
