Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Pesto sauce
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and then microwave for another 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Place the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a rolling pin or your hands, spread the dough into a 1/4-inch thick circle.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the crust is baking, slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pesto sauce evenly over it.
Top with sliced mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with black pepper.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
