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.
