Shred cauliflower by hand using a box grater or pulse it in your food processor.

I did both ways to test both ways out.

If you pulse it in your food processor you want very small pieces throughout and a consistent size; the size of rice.

Optional step: Insert a steamer basket into a pot with about an inch of water inside (make sure the basket is not touching the water).
-
22
Bring the water to a simmer, put the cauliflower in the basket and steam your cauliflower rice about 4-5 minutes until done but not mushy.
-
23
Or instead of steaming it in a steamer basket you can place it in a Pyrex baking dish (no water added!)
-
24
and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
-
25
Cook time depends on your microwave but it should be tender and not mushy when done.

There is much less with the microwave technique.

When done carefully flip it over and bake another 3-5 minutes to form the crust even more since there is no dairy holding this firmly together.
-

I found the discrepancy on baking time really depends on your oven and how wet your cauliflower is when you mix it.
