Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup low-carb pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 0.5 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 5 pieces fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for broiling at the end.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they form a uniform and sticky dough-like consistency.
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with nonstick spray or a little olive oil.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly across the skillet, pressing it down firmly to form the crust.
Cook the crust over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the bottom is firm enough to hold together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and spread 0.5 cups of low-carb pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and arrange 0.5 cups of pepperoni slices and 0.25 cups of sliced black olives on top, if using.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown slightly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pizza to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
