Gluten Free Pizza Crust

This is based on the recipe for Low carb, high protein pizza with homemade sauce I found on instructables.com – I’ve portioned it down for a meal for 1-2. The crust is made from a blend of cream cheese and Parmesan cheese with egg to help bind it all together.

Ingredients

• 1-3 oz package cream cheese – at room temperature
• 1/2 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg

Preheat oven to 350F

In a medium bowl mix together all three ingredients until well combined.

Spray an 8×8 baking pan or 9inch pie plate (I used a 9-inch cast iron skillet) with non-stick spray and spread the cheese mixture evenly in the bottom.

Bake about 25 minutes until set and lightly browned.

Turn oven up to 425F, top your crust with your favorite sauce, toppings and some cheese. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Notes: The recipe this is based on has what looks like a decent recipe for some sauce as well. Or use your favorite canned/jarred sauce (pizza or pasta). The pizza in the pic used a sauce I made along with pepperoni, onion, jalapeno and chicken. This is a decent sized meal for one, or split with someone and put a nice salad or something else on the side.

Below are some of the “in progress” photos I took…

Here is the “dough” after having spread it out in my skillet – ready to go in the oven.

Out of the oven, ready for toppings. It’s weird how much this pile of baked cheese resembles a dough type crust.

Ready for the oven, topped with homemade sauce, pepperoni, onion, jalapenos, chicken and cheese.
