Here in the Hotchkiss home we are really trying to eat healthier meals and improve our lives through diet and exercise. I'll let you in on a little secret: Hotch & I are really overweight and out of shape. I saw a recipe for cauliflower pizza crusts and thought we should give it a try. It was fantastic! Recommend this to anyone looking for a healthier way to eat pizza or a fun way to get your kids to eat their veggies.
Start out by grating or ricing one cauliflower. Microwave it for 8 minutes (do not add water). Add 3 eggs, 3 cups of cheese (any kind will do), 3 tsp of garlic salt. Mix well.
We have a family of five so we made a triple batch. You could use 1 1/2 cups cooked riced cauliflower, 1 egg, 1 cup cheese and 1 tsp garlic salt in order to make a single serving.
Spray cookie sheets, pie pans or casserole dish before spreading thin layer of mixture. Note: the cauliflower crust will stick unless you spray heavily with vegetable oil. Heat oven to 425 degrees and cook for 18 minutes.
Let it cool for a few minutes. Gently use a spoon or spatula to lift it from pan in order to make sure it has not stuck. Next lightly sauce it.
Add cheese (any kind will do). We had a Mexican blend on hand. Here comes the best part: add your favorite toppings.
Bake for 5 minutes longer or until cheese has melted.
Voila! Yummy healthy cauliflower pizza.
The kids enjoyed making their own pizzas and they turned out really well.
My pizza got a little stuck to the pan (seriously need to spray pan heavily) so it got a little smooshed on the way to my plate. I just love the colors and textured of this meal!
Not too shabby for one relaxing Saturday afternoon. We'll have to make this more often! It was a hit with everyone in our house.
Sounds yummy. I'll have to try this with my veggie cheese & see if works without the egg.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are doing this. Now I can keep tabs on the Hotchkiss Clan!!
Let me know if you were able to make it with your veggie cheese and without the egg. Hope it tasted great that way too!
