Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower with the egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring there are no cracks.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and firm.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before adding your desired toppings.
Notes
- For the best flavor and texture, use fresh cauliflower.
- Ensure you squeeze out as much moisture as possible for a crispier crust.
- Experiment with different cheeses and spices for variations.
