Beat the egg in a large bowl and add the cheese and mix well.
Now place the cauliflower in a dry pan on medium heat and stir it now and then, it will give out steam and loose all its water. Continue stirring till the cauliflower has dried out , be careful not to allow it to turn color. It would take 10 minutes.
Allow the cauliflower to cool, then mix it with the egg and cheese mixture till it forms a dough. Make the dough into a ball.
Now place the dough ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll it gently to form a pizza cruse about 1/4 inch thick on all sides. Keep the edges thick by shaping it with your hand if needed, don’t let the edges get thin or they will burn and become dark.
Now place the rolled out crust with the bottom parchment paper on a cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the crust has firmed up.
Now top the crust with your favorite sauce or pesto and other pizza toppings.
Return the pizza to the preheated 400 degree oven and bake for another 10 minutes till the toppings are done.
