Ingredients

Caramelized Onion:

Flatbread Crust:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup aged cheddar grated
  • ½ cup parmesan grated
  • 2 tbsp. lite cream cheese
  • 6 tbsp. oat flour gluten free, if needed
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Toppings:

  • 1 oz. pancetta or bacon diced
  • ½ cup light ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • ¼ red apple thinly sliced
  • 2 figs thinly sliced
  • Honey for serving
  • Parmesan shavings for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat a medium nonstick skillet over medium low heat along with the oil. Stir in the onions and caramelize low and slow until sweet and golden brown- about 40- 50 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, add in the rosemary, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice like consistency.
  • Transfer to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 min.
  • Remove and allow to cool to room temperature, then squeeze out all of the moisture using a cheesecloth.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 F and place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  • To the squeezed out cauliflower, add in the egg, cheddar, parmesan, cream cheese, flour, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Pack into a roll-like shape.
  • Lightly grease the baking sheet and press the cauliflower crust onto the baking sheet. Press it into ½” thick long rectangle. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the outsides.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon over medium heat in a small non-stick skillet until crispy. Drain in a piece of paper towel and set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ricotta and parmesan.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and spread with the cheese. Top with the apple, caramelized onion, bacon, and figs. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes just to warm everything through and lightly melt the cheese.
  • Garnish with a drizzle of honey and shaved parmesan.
