Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 3/4 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Button mushrooms
- 4 slices Ham slices
- 1/4 cup Pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds until melted.
Add 3/4 cup of almond flour, 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten it into a round pizza crust about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until golden and slightly firm.
While the crust is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup of sliced button mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven. Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Top with the sautéed mushrooms and 4 slices of diced ham. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Slice the pizza and enjoy your low-carb ham and mushroom pizza!
