Who would’ve thought that indulging in a cheesy, decadent pizza could align with your keto goals? That’s the beauty of the Fathead Pizza Crust—it’s like finding an old mixtape in your drawer, unexpected and delightful. This recipe has been my culinary savior, especially on those nights when the stars align for pizza cravings, and the world outside feels a bit too chaotic.
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a baking dish with parchment paper or a silicone mat, or even a lined casserole dish.
- In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the eggs, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian seasoning until mostly smooth, leaving a few small clumps.
- Gently fold in the grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses using a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared pizza pan and spread it out into a thin, even circle. If you prefer a thicker crust, make the circle smaller.
- Bake the crust for 22 minutes, flipping it carefully at the 12-14 minute mark. To flip without breaking, cover it with another sheet of parchment paper, lift from the bottom, and flip with the new sheet underneath.
