NO DOUGH PIZZA!!!!!!! This one is a WINNER!!!!

For when you absolutely want pizza but not all the carbs!!!!!!!

Crust
1 (8 oz) package of full fat cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Topping
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
toppings - pepperoni, ham, sausage, mushrooms, peppers
Garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350.

Lightly spay a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. With a handheld mixer, mix cream cheese, eggs, pepper, garlic powder and parmesan cheese until combined. Spread into baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, our until golden brown. Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes.

Spread pizza sauce on crust. Top with cheese and toppings. Sprinkle pizza with garlic powder. Bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted.


Have not tried this yet but it sure looks delicious.

the last time I spayed my 9x13 baking dish I realized I should have neutered it.

BTW wouldn't a better title be "Pizza Toppings Casserole"? Sincere question. Not even a meanie.

Isn't that container of cream cheese a TON of calories?

Yes, this pizza is basically a cheesecake...

Oh my bad, "Cheesecake Pizza".

Well, nobody else has tried it yet, so I figured I'd be the guinea pig. I used reduced fat cream cheese rather than the real deal, but everything else listed. It came out pretty well, only I didn't bake the crust by itself near long enough. It had more of pancake consistency, rather than being crispy, which made it eat like lasagna vs. pizza. Still, if you're looking for low carb pizza, I'd say give it a try.

Nutrition for entire pizza w/ 4 slices of Canadian Bacon and 17 slices of Turkey Pepperoni as meat toppings:

I ate half of it in one sitting, which is:

it probably needed the full fat cream cheese to bond to the parmesan and eggs to become more crust like. you know like parm crisps but sticking together? so yeah, can you post how it went if you end up following the recipe exactly? it looks yummy I wanna try it but I don't have money to throw around on iffy recipes.

'I know this egg-based crust is going to sound strange, but I urge you to trust me and try this. I've tried a whole lot of low-carb pizza crusts over the years, and this is really the best one. No, it isn't like regular, but it's really good. I got the recipe on which this is based from the Protein Power Forum, and have altered it somewhat.'

'Based on some of the comments, I'm now realizing that some people are expecting a crisp crust, or a thin crust. This crust is neither crisp nor thin. However, you can make it thinner by using fewer eggs and less cream cheese.'
Ingredients:

6 eggs
6 oz cream cheese (3/4 package) at room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1½ teaspoon oregano or other Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
pinches of black and/or cayenne pepper
1 cup (or a little more) shredded Italian cheeses, at least half of which is a hard cheese (Parmesan, Assagio)
Preparation:

Heat the oven to 350° F.
1) Be sure the cream cheese is at about room temperature. Using a regular blender, food processor, or (my preferred) stick blender, mix the egg and cream cheese until well blended. Add the salt and spices and blend again.

2) Spread cheese in bottom of well-buttered 9X13 pan. I often use an Italian blend such as Trader Joe's Quattro Formaggio. Pour egg mixture over the cheese, and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is browning.

3) Remove from oven, add pizza toppings, and bake until done - about another 10-15 minutes.

Makes 8 servings.

Nutritional Information: Each serving has 1.5 grams effective carbohydrate plus 11 grams protein, and 179 calories.

I don't mean to come off as nasty, but it really should have been posted as a low carb, high calorie no crust pizza. For us counting calories, this would be a nightmare into burning off the calories. Plus there is nothing ( not much fiber in it) to prevent one from over eating. I am for high protein diets, but I worry about all the fat this pizza has. I may need a quadrupal bypass after eating the whole thing, or pretty close to one.

you can get your fiber on the side in the form of a salad. quit whining.

Pretty much drooling all over my keyboard. Not one recipe on this thread will go untried.

Wow. I'm going to make this Sunday, put all veggie toppings on it instead of the meat, and cut it into 6 pieces to pack for lunch every day this week. When I calculated it through the recipe importer, it came out as 1206 calories for the whole thing. I haven't had pizza since March.

I've made this. It's very good and I used the GREEK cream cheese adding protein, sparing some fat.
