Smokey's Cheesy Low-Carb Homemade Pizza

Pizza is one of our go-to comfort foods, which we have loved for years!

Who doesn’t love a fresh and hearty pizza?  I know we sure do. We would order pizza in college, for family night, or just for any occasion.  However, we recently resorted to only eating pizza on special nights, since there are so many carbs in the crust and sauce.

Well, we have a crust recipe, made without flour, that will make you drool for a slice.

The crust, made mostly of cheese, smells, looks, and tastes like original pizza crust. As this is one of our favorite meals, we will usually make a double batch, which will last us for two night's meals. 

Preparation time is only 10 minutes, while baking time is about another 30 minutes.

Our ingredients include:

• 4 eggs
• 4 Cups + 2 Cups + 1 Cup of Shredded Cheese of choice
• 2 - 8 oz. Packages Cream Cheese
• 2 - 8 oz. Cans of Mushrooms
• 2 - 8 oz. cans of Tomato Sauce
• 1 Medium Onion
• 1/2 Cup Sweetener
• 1/2 Cup + 1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese of choice
• ½ tsp. Garlic Powder
• ½ tsp. Italian Seasoning

We'll begin by placing our cream cheese in our mixing bowl and will melt in our microwave for about 1 minute.

This will allow our cream cheese to soften, so that we may stir our ingredients together,  a little easier.

Next, we'll add our eggs, 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasonings, 4 cups of our shredded cheese, and will stir until our mixture is fully blended.

We'll then,  spray 2 of our 8 x 13-inch baking pans with cooking spray, before lining them with Parchment Paper.

Although Parchment Paper is supposedly non-stick, we will continue to spray our paper with cooking spray, just to be certain our mixture will not stick.

Next, we'll divide our mixture in half.

We'll place one half of our cheesy "dough" onto the middle of our first baking pan and the other half onto the middle of our second.  

Using a spoon, we'll evenly spread our mixtures around our pan, until fully covered.  

We'll then, place our pans in our oven on separate racks and will bake at 350F for about 10 minutes, or until our "crust" is slightly browned.

Once our crust has browned, we'll remove them from our oven and place them on our stove. 

Now, it’s time to flip our dough onto each pan.  

We'll, merely grab one of the long sides of our parchment paper and will carefully flip our dough over and onto our pan.

We'll then, pour each can of Tomato Sauce onto the middle of each crust.

Using a spoon, we'll spread our sauce over most of the crust, leaving a tiny border.

Since we prefer a sweeter Tomato Sauce, we'll sprinkle ¼ cup of our sweetener over each of our crusts.   

Next, we'll spread about 1 cup of Shredded Cheese over our sauces.  

We'll then, place our toppings over our pizzas.  

We enjoy a basic mushroom and onion cheese pizza. However, you may add any topping that your heart desires. 

Next, we'll cover each pizza with another 1/2 cup of extra cheese and 1/4th cup of extra Parmesan Cheese, to ensure a cheesier pizza.

After placing our toppings on our pizzas, we'll then, place our pans back in our oven and will bake on 375F for an additional 20 minutes or until our top cheese has slightly browned.  

As we say in France ~

Voila!

There we go! 

Our slightly chewy and crispy crust is complementing our savory toppings. 

We are completely amazed at the flavor of our mock pizza!  

We've invited relatives over for our pizza night and they have had no idea, we weren't serving real pizza crust!

Now we can all enjoy a low carb pizza alternative, without skimping on flavor.

From our kitchen to yours ~

Bon Appétit!
