Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, cored and separated into florets

½ C water

½ tsp salt

2 ounces fresh goat cheese

½ ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Puree cauliflower in a food processor until finely ground.
  3. Cook ground cauliflower, water, and salt together in a skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and most of the water evaporates, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool completely.
