Why? Why does everyone think cauliflower can replace everything?:sick:
Eat the real thing.
:flowerforyou:
Newsflash: wheat makes some people sick. I choose not to eat things that make me sick.
But I'm more likely to do a meatza and it has LOTS OF FAT because fat is healthy and delicious and satiating. Oh, and my meatza has more calories than regular pizza but one is full on one or two pieces so, bonus, there's leftovers.
Exactly. I choose not to eat things that make my joints hurt, get muscle spasms and have digestive issues. Its just not worth it to me.
I like this gluten free, low carb pizza crust as I like more of a thicker crust.
6 eggs
6 oz cream cheese (3/4 package) at room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1½ teaspoon oregano or other Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon coconut or almond flour
pinches of black and/or cayenne pepper
1 cup (or a little more) shredded Italian cheeses, at least half of which is a hard cheese (Parmesan, Assagio)
Preparation:
Heat the oven to 350F
1) Be sure the cream cheese is at about room temperature. Using a regular blender, food processor, or (my preferred) stick blender, mix the egg and cream cheese until well blended. Add the salt, spices and coconut/almond flour and blend again.
2) Spread cheese in bottom of well-buttered 9X13 pan. I often use an Italian blend such as Trader Joe's Quattro Formaggio. Pour egg mixture over the cheese, and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is browning.
3) Remove from oven, add pizza toppings, and bake until done - about another 10-15 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.0 -

I made this about a week or so a go for dinner and it was AWESOME! My hubby who is a picky eater said it was the best pizza he has ever had homemade. He keeps bugging me to make it again. My only complaint is the wringing of the cauliflower. I know the more water you wring out the better the crust turns out and honestly that is the only thing that is keeping me from making this again. I wish there was an easier way. I have a family of 8 and making more than 1 pizza is out of the question LOL I made ours with ham, pineapple and dipped in greek yogurt ranch. Sooooo good. Thanks!0

I'm pretty sure this is soufflé or... huh, well, actually, it's sort of similar to cheesecake, I think.
I'm honestly not trying to be unkind, I'm just simply saying that it isn't pizza crust.0 -
Thanks!! I can't wait to try this!0

This looks amazing!

Because they'd like to cut down on the simple carbs. It doesn't harm you if they like it.0

Bump for the recipe!0

Actually, pizza crust is a complex carb. It's very often a refined one, and white bread crusts are definitely a starchy one. Most chain restaurant ones also have a wack of HFCS.Because they'd like to cut down on the simple carbs. It doesn't harm you if they like it.
But you nailed it: it doesn't hurt anyone else if we like it.
I'm not sure why folks get so defensive about their own food intake that they feel the need to take an offensive (both pronunciations) approach here.0 -

Were you asked a question?
Must you continue to provide useless, unkind and/or snarky (unsolicited) comments?
Wait in the car, and don't touch the radio.0 -
Actually, you made no point. It is pizza. Just as cornmeal pizza is, and whole wheat and gluten free...Why? Why does everyone think cauliflower can replace everything?:sick:
Eat the real thing.
:flowerforyou:
because with this you can eat WAAAAAAY more than one piece. I do eat the real thing but when you're 5'2 you just don't get enough calories in the day to eat 3 pieces of pizza.
? make a thin crust pizza, has less calories and you can eat more…problem solved…
or eat less earlier in the day so you can eat more pizza …
Because I ate half a pizza and it was less calories than a slice at our local pizza place!
My hubby is a pizza fanatic and he loved it! I honestly wouldn't have believed it was a cauliflower crust had I of not made it myself!
why not just make your own the regular way and it would be less than at the local pizza place…?
I just don't understand the cauliflower substitute for everything clan….makes no sense to me..sorry
Hey... how about.. get over yourself.
Maybe we want to eat pizza every friggin day and this is how we like it. Maybe this is just a cool way to get in some extra veggies. Maybe our Macros won't allow for the carbs that 3 slices of regular pizza would consume on a daily basis. If we want to make cauliflower out of everything and like it.. then step off our block.
About to eat some cauliflower and salsa now... and like it.
then start a private cauliflower group where you all can marvel at the magical cauliflower substitutions..
It is a public thread, and I made my point, which you obviously are having an aneurism over, but that is fine as you free to express your opinion; mine is that cauliflower pizza is not real pizza...deal with it.0 -

Glad to hear you liked it! Try a nut milk bag (about $3 at a health food store). It makes this step a cinch! It literally took me 2 minutes to strain all of the water out! 0 -
I'm a big fan of cauliflower pizza, but mine also doesn't look quite as good. I like being able to eat more with less calories and getting a huge amount of veggies in without even trying.
I microwave my cauliflower, but I'll try also squeezing any additional water out before mixing the egg and cheese.
Thanks!0 -
Definitely making this. Has anyone tried frozen cauliflower with this?0
