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.
