Cheese Crust Pizza (4 Ingredients) Recipe

Introduction

This Cheese Crust Pizza is a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional pizza, featuring a crispy, cheesy base that’s both flavorful and satisfying. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a homemade pizza that’s perfect for keto diets or anyone looking to try something new.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 recipe Keto Pizza Sauce
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese (for topping)
• 13 slices Pepperoni

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Lightly spray a 10-inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
2. Step 2: In a food processor, combine the 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and Italian seasoning. Pulse a few times until well mixed and forming a dough-like consistency.
3. Step 3: Pour the cheese mixture onto the prepared pizza pan and spread it out into a thin, even layer to form the crust.
4. Step 4: Bake the crust in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and feels firm when touched.
5. Step 5: Allow the crust to cool for 10 minutes. This helps seal it and prevents sogginess when adding toppings.
6. Step 6: Spread the keto pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and arrange the pepperoni slices on top.
7. Step 7: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese on top is bubbly and melted.

Tips & Variations

• Use a parchment paper liner on your pizza pan to make removing the crust easier and prevent sticking.
• Try adding other keto-friendly toppings like sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
• Substitute Italian seasoning with your favorite herbs such as oregano or basil for a personalized touch.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Avoid microwaving for best texture.

FAQs

Can I make the crust ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the crust in advance and bake it. Once cooled, store it in the refrigerator and add toppings just before the final bake.

What if I don’t have a food processor?

You can mix the cheeses, eggs, and seasoning by hand using a strong spoon or spatula, but the texture might be less uniform. Make sure everything is well combined before spreading.
