Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pork rinds (finely ground)
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
Place the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Add the melted cheese mixture and the eggs to the dry ingredients. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to knead and combine until a uniform dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper and shape it into a pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick. You can use your hands or a rolling pin, placing another sheet of parchment on top to prevent sticking.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings (e.g., marinara sauce, more cheese, vegetables, meats, etc.).
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven, let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve!
