Crust:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder { I used 3/4 teaspoon – we like garlic }
- 8 ounces Italian cheese blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded
Toppings
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce { I used 1/2 cup to cover the entire crust – this ups the carb count a bit }
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Assorted toppings: pepperoni, ham, sausage, onions, olives, green peppers, bacon, etc.
- Dash of garlic pepper or garlic powder and some Italian seasoning for top of pizza
Directions:
- Put the softened cream cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, seasonings and 8 ounces of mozzarella in a medium bowl. Mix with a spoon until well-blended.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly in a well-greased 9×13″ glass baking dish or a 9×13″ rimmed baking sheet that is lightly greased and lined with parchment paper (see note below).
- Bake at 375º 20-25 minutes or until evenly browned, but not too dark.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Spread the crust with the pizza sauce, then the cheese and toppings of your choice.
- Lightly sprinkle with the seasonings of your choice.
- Bake at 375º about 15-20 minutes or until toppings are bubbly.
- Let stand a few minutes before cutting.
