Low Carb Pizza

I love pizza, like - LOVE it. But living a low carb life doesn't really allow me to eat it often and I feel so wasteful picking the toppings off normal pizza and throwing away the crust. So you can imagine my excitement when I found this recipe from PlainChicken.com. We have made it numerous times with different toppings every time. It's not a pizza you can pick up and eat with your hands, but that doesn't stop us lol.

Mmmmmm delicious!


Low Carb Pizza

Crust:
8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
2 eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Garlic Powder

Topping:
1/2 cup Pizza Sauce
Cheese of your choice (we like a mixture of cheddar, mozzarella and asiago)
Toppings of your choice - pork sausage, Italian turkey sausage, pepperoni, beef, bacon, mushrooms, green pepper, black olive, onion (the list could go on and on lol)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Mix the cream cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, black pepper and garlic powder in a mixer until mostly creamy. Spread evenly into the 9x13 dish. Bake for aprox 15 minutes until golden brown.

Take from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Pour the pizza sauce evenly over crust and top however you like (cheese first or last is totally up to you) with as many toppings as you like. Bake for 10 minutes - may need to bake longer depending on how many toppings you've used. Pizza is done when cheese is completely melted.

We did half Italian turkey sausage and salami and half Italian turkey sausage and pepperoni 


This is so easy and fast you can make and it eat before your delivery type pizza even gets there and you probably have all the ingredients on hand already! I urge you to try it, you won't be disappointed.
