Ingredients


  • 1 head cauliflower, cored and separated into florets
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • ½ ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste


Directions


  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place cauliflower into a food processor; blend until finely ground.

  3. Cook cauliflower, water, and salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and most of the water is evaporated, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool completely.

  4. Transfer cauliflower to the center of a clean dish towel. Wrap and squeeze tightly to remove excess moisture. You should have about 1 1/2 cups cauliflower pulp.

  5. Stir together cauliflower pulp, egg, goat cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl to form a soft dough. Gather into a ball and place in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Press dough into a circle, about 1/4-inch thick.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool and turn crust over before topping.
