    My daughter (geegeeland) introduced me to this. Delicious and great for those of us watching carbs. I like to use it plan as bread, with no toppings. I toast leftover pieces until crisp and use as crackers. - 9/18/12

    If you buy a head of cauliflower , separate the florets and either put in food processor, or grate it, it won't be so moist, and taste delicious, even the second day. - 2/13/12

    It's 82 MG not % of cholesterol... which out of 300 per day is not bad at all for a meal. And of course low carbers know that dietary cholesterol is not a measure of lipid cholesterol :)

    I had this and thought it was completely amazing. I also used raw so I didn't have to worry about draining - 9/20/11

    I thought this was great, as long as you weren't really expecting it to taste like pizza! An excellent alternative to the regular crust! I used reduced fat cheese to lower the fat & cals. - 2/24/10

    I agree with Geminisue..why use frozen when you can buy a whole head of fresh cauliflower? It will make twice as much, it's half the price, fresh, with no excess water. I use my food processor with the grate blade. Takes literally all of 2 minutes and voila! - 12/12/12

    I have a dairy sensitivity and can't eat cheese so omitted that and used egg white instead of a whole egg, plus loads of garlic!! It was incredible!!!! I made it for my friends last night and I seriously could have had twice the amount, everyone raved, even sans cheese. Used fresh instead of frozen. - 5/6/12

    I used the version from the Recipegirl.com site, which calls for 2+ cups of cauliflower (egg & cheese the same, but I used fat-free cheddar & a Mexican blend). My herbs were thyme & oregano. The crust baked to perfection & I broiled tomatoes & yellow peppers on top. YUM! - 4/28/12

    Absolutely amazing. Used fresh (cause I didn't have any frozen on hand) and it was great!!! Can't wait to make it again. Even my room mate (who hates cauliflower, and isn't a low-carber) loved it. Can't wait to make it again! - 12/8/12

    I made this tonight & it turned out to be AMAZING! Instead of buying frozen cauliflower, I used the florets from 1 whole head of fresh cauliflower after mincing it up in the blender. I also substituted shredded parmesan cheese for 3/4 of the cheddar cheese. Makes a whole LG pizza (4x's recipe). - 7/9/12

    I made this tonight with supper but never used it as a pizza crust - had it with grilled chicken breast. I also added 1.5 cups cauliflower instead of 1 cup and I used a medium egg. I never used fennel. Either way myself and my husband really enjoyed this. I highly recommend this item! - 1/16/12

  • I used a browning pan that has 12 individual squares and this turned out great. cooked it about 15 min to make sure it was crispy and topped it with my pizza makings and my fam loved IT! - 5/5/13

  • I liked it but my DH wasn't crazy about it. I think he had his mind made up before we ate it though that he wasn't going to like it. I doubled the recipe but the crust was still a little too thin. I tried to soak up as much of the liquid as I could after cooking it but it was still too wet. - 3/7/13

  • This worked well for me: 2 cups raw cauliflower (1/2 large head) remove stems. Chopped small in food processor, dried out in cracked-open toaster oven @ 250. 1 cup of parmesan & Romano fancy shredded, could use less. 1 egg and 1 egg white. Oven @ 350 X 25 min, 10 other side. Precooked toppings. Yum! - 3/5/13

  • I agree with the others' comments - this is a very clever way to eat pizza! I would also agree that it would be ideal to EITHER cook it on a pizza stone, OR flip it halfway through cooking. The reason is that the bottom gets crispier than the top. I'm going to try to mix it with ground beef next! - 1/31/13

  • This was absolutely incredible! I was a little skeptical but it was delicious! I used half of a fresh cauliflower head, 2 eggs, and 3/4 cups cheese. It made one regular size 'pizza'. I cooked it for close to 25 minutes to get it extra crispy. I added celery salt and garlic power as well. - 1/24/13

  • Can you substitute the cheese with something with less fat? Lets say cottage cheese for example? Or add more eggs? - 8/25/11
