Easy Weeknight Keto Pizza
I love this recipe and I think you will too! In less time than it would take for delivery, you can have a home made, keto friendly, Gluten Free pizza ready for dinner. Unlike many recipes for Keto Pizza, this one does not use a Cauliflower Crust, instead using a combination of baked Cream Cheese, Eggs and Parmesan. Lay out a selection of toppings, and let everyone design their own.
Start by making your “crust” and getting it into the oven to bake. It needs to cool before you put the toppings and then heat again to melt the oooey, gooey cheese! While the “crust” is baking, prepare the toppings you want to use and lay them out on a tray.
When the crust has cooked and cooled, add desired toppings, and place back into the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese on top is melted. That’s it !!!

Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 c. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1½ t. dried basil, divided
- 1½ t. dried oregano, divided
- 1 t. garlic powder, divided
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1½ T. tomato paste
- 3 T. sugar-free tomato sauce
- 4 oz. pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 1 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- fresh basil leaves, chiffonade (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine
cream cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon basil and oregano,
and ½ teaspoon garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl. Season with
salt and black pepper, to taste, and whisk until mixture is
completely blended and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into the
desired shape and thickness. (For thicker crusts, reduce oven
temperature to 350° F and increase baking times for best results).
Place the crust in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly
puffed and golden brown. Check halfway through cooking time to
ensure the crust bakes evenly and does not become too brown.
