Pizza for Passover ( Grain Free)

                                   
Pin It

This pizza is perfect for Passover ( or anytime) because it is grain free.  It's light and crispy,  low in carbs,  and easy to make. It is delicious any time of the year, but is especially perfect for Passover.
Askenazi Jews ( those from Eastern European backgrounds as opposed to Jews from Middle Eastern backgrounds) do not eat rice or any flour with leavening during Passover. But they can eat  "riced cauliflower" which looks and behaves like rice in most recipes but is a vegetable.

Because this crust is made with raw cauliflower ( don't stop reading)  and then baked, it makes a perfect Passover dish. It's hard to believe because it doesn't taste like cauliflower. My husband loved it and thought it was made with rice . It makes a wonderful light dinner and doesn't leave us bloated or stuffed . I topped mine with sliced fresh tomatoes and herbs, but you could also put tomato sauce, additional cheese, and any toppings you like. If you do make it with tomato sauce, cook your crust first till cristpy; then add sauce and cheese and heat to melt cheese.  Eat it with a simple salad and or a cup of soup.


Break  Raw Cauliflower into Flowerettes


Place in processor with metal blade;Process on /off about 3 times quickly ( don't over do)



Will look like this when done
     

Mix Riced Cauliflower with eggs and cheese and seasoning.

               


Press into spring form pan as a crust ( or any pan) tomatoes optional

                  


Bake in a preheated oven at 475 for about 10 minutes or until crispy

Top with cherry tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms , or sauce and any topping of choice.
  Ingredients:
 1 small head of cauliflower, riced in the processor

 1 cup shredded parmesan or any shredded cheese
 Rosemary,basil, salt, cracked pepper, etc.

  1. Before I went vegan I loved this pizza crust. I have been trying to figure out how to make it without eggs and cheese. Do you have nay suggestions?

  2. This is one of those recipes that jumps at me. I can even make this before Passover, which makes it extra special.

    The idea of the cauliflower is ingenious and I am thrilled you shared it on my lnky.

  3. Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop. I'm so excited to be co-hosting this week! This looks awesome and so healthy!
    As for Good Girl's question, I've had good luck with replacing egg with a tablespoon of ground flaxseed blended with 3 tablespoons lukewarm water for each egg in most recipes. And, vegan cheese is pretty good.
