Pro Tips
- Microwave and drain the cauliflower rice thoroughly before mixing the crust — a dry base is what lets it crisp into an actual pizza crust.
- Press the crust into the greased pot and cook 6 minutes per side until it holds together before it goes anywhere near toppings.
- Cut the crust to fit the baking dish if needed — a snug fit means neat slices instead of a scattered mess.
- The avocado goes on fresh at serving time for creaminess; the sausage and eggs cook right on the pizza.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the crust in the oven?
Yes — bake the pressed crust at 400°F until golden and firm, then top and finish. It's more work, but it crisps beautifully.
Is this pizza keto?
Yes — the cauliflower crust keeps it to 5.4g net carbs per serving while the eggs, cheese, and sausage deliver 27g of protein.
Can I use other toppings?
Any cooked breakfast meat or vegetable works. Keep the moisture low — wet toppings make the crust soggy.
How do I store leftovers?
Refrigerate slices up to 3 days and rewarm in a hot oven. Add fresh avocado each time for the best texture.
