Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Smoked salmon - 100 grams
• Cream cheese (dairy-free) - 50 grams
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Fresh chives - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Once steamed, allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then drain any excess water and blend in a food processor until it resembles rice.
4. In a bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, almond flour, egg, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
5. Spread the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round crust about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and firm.
7. While the crust is baking, mix the cream cheese, fresh dill, chives, and lemon juice in a bowl until well combined.
8. Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
9. Top with the smoked salmon pieces and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to warm through.
10. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve.
