Cauliflower Crust Pizza Again

The picture is actually of the one my mom made up for my dad. I made the crust and she did the toppings.

After the first time i made it, my mom kept talking about it and wanted me to make them again. She's not even a big pizza person. Followed this recipe again: http://www.eat-drink-smile.com/2011/04/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html

Talking to my mom about it, i was thinking about how that since you have to cook the cauliflower before making the crust anyways, that it should be fine to use frozen...then i read again about how to make it and saw that it was get them into the pieces and then cook. Not so easy to do that when they are frozen. Made it work though, just cooked them enough to thaw them and then used the slap chop to get them into the pieces then heat them up again.
Here's my set up of that. Ignore the mess, i tend to forget to clean before i cook lol.

After that was done, it came to mixing the stuff before cooking. Realized we forgot to get mozzarella. My mom got the cheese for the topping though. It was a mixed blend that had mozzarella in it, and well really it was the only cheese we had to attempt to use to actually make this. So i used the pizza blend cheese for the crust. Worked just fine.

Here's how it looked after cooking it.

Pretty sure you just do the same thing to make the cauliflower "breadsticks", but that's not the point of this lol.

My mom and dad both loved their pizzas. I didn't make myself one, but i ate a slice of my mom's, it was good.

Nice to know it also works with frozen cauliflower and pizza blend cheese for the crust.

I followed this: http://www.eat-drink-smile.com/2011/04/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html

With the whole "health kick"(that i'm not completely following), when i see something that is suppose to be healthy, or just different than the usual, it catches my eye. Seeing that the crust is made with cauliflower, it made me curious on how it'd taste, or just how it worked.

The crust is just made of "riced" cauliflower, cheese, and an egg. I did a little garlic salt for taste like the recipe said, but i didn't feel like adding the actual garlic and i couldn't find our oregano to add to it, so i skipped it. My mom doesn't like red sauce, so we went with just white sauce for the pizzas. Turned out that the size the recipe makes is like a personal pizza, but since we only had the one sauce, i went with white sauce. My mom's pizza had more toppings than mine, but i don't like too many topping.

Over all this was easy to make. I did get a little frustrated making it though. Not because of the recipe, but from that our kitchen was a mess because my brother was too lazy to start the dish washer after loading it and i didn't realize it could of been started until after i was getting frustrated with the mess.

For taste, eating it all together, you don't really feel like you are eating cauliflower. It's not bread like for texture though. I do think that if you eat just the crust without most of the toppings, it does have a cauliflower taste to it. It is thick enough that you can actually pick up the slices like pizza.

I wasn't super impressed, it was good, but maybe if it was red sauce instead. I'll eat white sauce, but i prefer red. My parents loved it though. Almost every bite my mom took she made a comment on how good she thought it was. My dad wasn't sure on it when i told him what the crust was, but after he tried a slice, he was pleasantly surprised that he liked it. He liked it more than it thought he would and my mom said she'd rank it as number 1 out of everything i've made. Since i live with my parents, my parents(and brother if he is willing to try it) are my taste testers....partly so that there's less left overs if i was just making the stuff for myself.

Lastly, this is the pizza my mom made. Well the crust is what i made, she did the toppings herself.
