Ready In
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper squares.
- Grate cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl using a fine grater. Chop up any remaining pieces that are too small to grate but too big for the crust.
- Microwave cauliflower until soft and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour cauliflower into a clean dish towel cool easily handled, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; the drier the cauliflower is, the better it will hold together as a crust once mixed with the other ingredients.
- Combine cauliflower, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl.
- Scoop cauliflower crust mixture into prepared muffin tin, dividing the mixture evenly among the cups. Pat down cauliflower mixture with the back of a spoon, making it compact.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each cauliflower crust. Top with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, dividing evenly among the crusts.
- Bake until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Let sit in pan for 5 minutes before moving each bite to a cooling rack. Let cool for 10 minutes. Peel parchment paper squares off the crusts and serve on a platter.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- If you've got a food processor, cut the cauliflower into smaller chunks and toss it in the bowl and process until fine.
- Add the pizza toppings of your choice, cut into small pieces, in step 8.

Love this recipe. I've tried the bigger version before, but this bite-size held together much better. I didn't have fresh mozzarella so I used the grated stuff that comes in a can. I also th...

Way too many steps and fuss for the finished product. They don't stay warm very long so don't plan to take them to a pot luck dinner.

This is so good! I liked that it browned on the bottom. I left it to cook a little longer. I will definitely be making this a family favorite.
