Cauliflower Crust Spinach White Pizza Recipe

Cauliflower Crust Spinach White Pizza Recipe

It’s the kind of pizza that you will think is so good that you’ll forget that it is made on a cauliflower pizza crust!

The whole recipe is meant to be really easy, but you will need to make my Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce to kick this recipe off! Don’t worry though, it isn’t a tough recipe to make either. Just requires a little stirring, a little chopping and some heat. Easy enough, right?

Ok, now the Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce is full of flavor and will really set this pizza apart, but the addition of the sauteed veggies using the the Trader Joe’s Vegan Basil Pesto sauce!! Guys,   this basil pesto is probably the best pre-made basil pesto sauce that i’ve found! Check out my review of it HERE if you’re curious about how else to use the sauce, taste and price!

White Pizza On A Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Go make this sauce first. I would suggest cutting the recipe in half if you just want to use it for this pizza. If you make the full recipe amount, you'll have a good amount left over to enjoy on some pasta later in the week!

PRO-TIP: An easy way to flip the crust over is once you remove it from pre-baking on the first side, lay a baking sheet on top and flip it on the baking sheet. Then slide the un-baked side onto your baking stone. This is the best way I've found to flip the crust so both sides get pre-baked for 6 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN: I used chicken tenders and soaked them overnight in Bolthouse Farms ranch yogurt dressing. Then I baked them in the oven for 35 minutes and oh, man! They were so juicy, flavorful and tinder. Then I thinly sliced the tenders longways to lay on the pizza!

Julienne the red onion, slice your portobello mushrooms and add into a skillet over medium heat with the tablespoon of olive oil, garlic and all the Trader Joe's Basil Pesto. Sautee together in the pan until the onions and mushrooms are soft. (About 6 - 8 minutes)

Once your crust is pre-heated, the low-fat alfredo sauce is made and the rest of your ingredients are cooked, it's time to make your pizza!

Pop it in your oven on 450 for 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and turning golden brown in a few places!

I made this last weekend when the family came over for Father’s Day brunch.  It is quite healthy and low fat/calorie.  I used fat-free mozzarella cheese, fresh sauteed spinach and crumbled feta for my toppings.  YUM!

RECIPE

Here is how I made it.  Would love to hear your thoughts if you try it and/or your tips if you’ve made it other ways.

Cauliflower Crust Spinach & Feta White Pizza

I loved it hot and also loved it cold the next day for lunch at work.  (Though I am one of those crazy peeps who loves everything cold as well!)

Cut cauliflower into florets and “rice” in food processor in batches.  Place in microwave-safe glass bowl with lid and cook for 8 minutes on high.  Allow to cool slightly and place cooked riced cauliflower in 3-4 even batches at a time in a dry tea-towel.  Roll up and squeeze water out of the riced cauliflower.  Squeeze hard and get as much out as you can.  This is an important step in creating a crust that will not be soggy.  You may get up to a total of a cup of liquid out.

Cauliflower

Add eggs, cheese and seasonings to cauliflower and blend well using your hands.  Place on a parchment-lined baking stone, and pat into a crust.  Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

Cauliflower Crust Spinach Pizza

While crust is baking, saute minced garlic in about a tablespoon of olive oil until soft and fragrant.  Add fresh baby spinach and cook until just wilted.  It only takes a minute or two.  Remove from heat and set aside..

When crust comes out of the oven, top it with the shredded mozzarella followed by sauteed spinach and then topped evenly with crumbled feta and seasoned with salt and pepper.

You can also add other favorite toppings like sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, grilled chicken – the possibilities are as endless as your personal palate!
