The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, let’s hit the grocery store, ya know? So first things first, grab a bag of shredded mozzarella. Like, 1 ½ cups—trust me, you’ll want extra for that ooey-gooey goodness. Then, cream cheese (½ cup) is a must—so creamy, so dreamy. 🧀

Next, we need eggs—just two. Seriously, they hold everything together. Then, almond flour (1 cup) because we’re keeping it low-carb, baby! Don’t forget baking powder (1 tsp) because we want this crust to rise a bit; we ain’t making a pancake here. Garlic powder (1 tsp) and oregano (½ tsp) for flavor, of course. And don’t skimp on the toppings! Your call—pepperoni, veggies, whatever floats your pizza boat!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, story time! So the other day, I was having one of those “I want pizza but I also want to fit in my jeans” moments (you know those, right?). I whipped this up, and it was like magic! The smell filled my kitchen, and I couldn’t stop tasting it. My dog, Charlie, was literally staring at me like, “Can I have some?!” 😂

I popped it in the oven, and when it came out all crispy and cheesy, I was like, “Dude, this is my new go-to!” Plus, it’s super easy to make while jamming to my favorite playlist… okay, it was probably a mix of Taylor Swift and some 80s nostalgia. But hey, whatever keeps the vibe right!

Just as gorgeous from this angle too!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen up, this is key: when melting the cheese and cream cheese together in the microwave, go slow! Like 30 seconds at a time, stir, then another 30 seconds. Don’t just blast it! You want it perfectly melty, not a weird clumpy nightmare.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skip the parchment paper. Seriously, or you’ll be scraping like a madman later. Trust me.
2. Let the crust cool a bit before adding sauce and toppings. If you don’t, it’ll just get soggy, and nobody wants that!
3. Check on it! Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, but start checking at 10. Just don’t walk away and forget it—like I did once. Oops. 😅

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (yeah, right), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll be good for about 3 days. You can reheat in the oven or microwave. But let’s be real, who even has leftovers with this pizza? Not in my house!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

Okay, if you’re into this cheesy goodness, you’ll probably dig my cauliflower crust pizza or the zucchini boats I make! Both are low-carb but still super delicious. A total win!

So, what do you think? Are you gonna give this cheesy pizza a shot? I’m telling you, it’s worth it—especially when you can toss your favorite toppings on it. Can’t wait to see what you create! 🍕💕
