Almost No Carb Pizza (Perfect for Ketogenic Diets)

It tastes great, but I would recommend using parchment, not just in the pan. Next time, I will use a larger pan with parchment so its a thinner crust, maybe it wont be so cake like. It was also a little difficult to get out of the pan. Parchment would allow you to take it out of pan to cut it. Still delicious though!!


Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 2 eggs
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 8 oz. package of full fat cream cheese (room temp.)
  • Garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

For the pizza:

  • 1/2 cup jarred marinara sauce*
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Sauteed pepperoni
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Butter a 9×13 baking dish (or line the dish with parchment paper)
  3. Blend cream cheese and eggs and season with pepper & garlic powder
  4. Add parmesan cheese and stir until combined
  5. Pour into buttered baking dish (or over parchment paper)
  6. Bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown
  7. Let crust cool for 10 minutes before adding toppings

For the pizza:

  1. After crust is cooked, raise oven to 400 degrees
  2. Mix together marinara sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper & oregano
  3. Top crust with marinara and spread evenly
