For crust: 1 small head of cauliflower (about 3 cups cauliflower rice) ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated ¼ cup Swiss cheese, grated ½ teaspoon oregano ½ teaspoon garlic powder 1 egg For topping: 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1 tablespoon olive oil ¼ teaspoon tarragon Salt and pepper to taste 4 tablespoons goat cheese ¾ cup Swiss cheese, grated 2 to 3 teaspoons truffle oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. For the crust, break the cauliflower into large florets. Using either a box grater or a food processor, grate or pulse the cauliflower to create a rice like texture. Measure 3 cups of cauliflower rice, place into a microwavesafe bowl and steam for about 2 minutes. Line a large plate with several sheets of paper towels. Spread the cauliflower rice on top of the towels, cover with a few sheets of paper towels and place a pan on top to press the water out of the cauliflower. When the cauliflower is dry, put it into a bowl and add the cheeses, oregano, egg and garlic powder. Mix well until combined.

While crust is baking, add the oil to a sauté pan and sauté the mushrooms until browned and liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and add tarragon and salt and pepper. When the crust is ready, top with mushrooms, dollops of goat cheese and a sprinkle of Swiss cheese. Bake for 10 minutes until cheese melts. Remove from oven and drizzle with truffle oil.
