Low Carb Deep Dish Pizza Recipes

LOW CARB DEEP DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.Beat together cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add cream, first 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and spices; mix again.
• In a 9 x 13 inch baking pan [sprayed with oil (Pam)] sprinkle 8 oz. Mozzarella cheese. Pour egg/cream cheese mixture over the top of the Mozzarella. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes (until it is golden brown). This will look like focaccia and is the crust for the pizza. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes.
• Spread on pizza sauce; sprinkle on 1 cup Mozzarella cheese and pile high with your chosen toppings! Then sprinkle on 2nd 1/4 cup Parmesan. Return to oven and bake until bubbly and browned (about 15 minutes). Allow to stand 10-15 minutes before cutting. Serves 8.

LOW CARB DEEP DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
• Whisk in eggs until mixture is well-blended and smooth.
• Add the Parmesan and seasonings, then stir in the 8 ounces of mozzarella until completely moistened.
• Spread cheese mixture evenly in a well-greased 9"x13" glass baking dish or lightly greased and lined with parchment paper (see note below).
• Bake at 375ºF for 20 to 25 minutes or until evenly browned, but not too dark; let cool completely on a wire rack.
• When nearly cooled, take a metal spatula and carefully pry up the edges to loosen from pan.
• Ease the spatula under the whole crust to loosen.
• Keep crust in the pan; this makes it easier to remove the finished pizza later.
• Refrigerate, uncovered, until shortly before serving time (this dries out the crust and makes it crisper).
• Spread chilled crust with pizza sauce, then cheese and toppings of your choice (pepperoni, ham, sausage, 4 ounce can mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, ground beef, etc).
• Lightly sprinkle with garlic powder and bake at 375ºF about 15 to 20 minutes or until toppings are bubbly.
• Let stand a few minutes before cutting.
