The recipe didn't say what type of cheese to use. My Italian friends have taught me to
use only Mozzarella cheese. Orange cheese is a No, no!👆

 



Mix in the seasonings and other ingredients.





FAILED. Not what I expected. Obviously.



Though I followed the directions, here's what I'd do differently next time.
1. Add a little salt to the cauliflower mixture.
2. I wouldn't spread the mixture as thin as I did.
3. Reduce the cooking time and/or watch the crust as it cooks.

Though this is a FAIL⊗, I'll be trying it again in the future.
That's it***
