Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Wooden spoon
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven mitts
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1.5 tsp dried basil divided
  • 1.5 tsp dried oregano divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder divided
  • 1.5 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp tomato sauce sugar-free
  • sea salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 2 leaves fresh basil
  • 2 leaves fresh oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Combine cream cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon basil and oregano, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder in a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and whisk until mixture is completely blended and smooth.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into the desired shape and thickness. (For thicker crusts, reduce oven temperature to350° F and increase baking times for best results).
  • Place the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly puffed and golden brown. Check halfway through cooking time to ensure the crust bakes evenly and does not become too brown.
  • In the meantime, whisk the tomato paste, tomato sauce, the remaining dried herbs, and the garlic powder in a small bowl. Lightly season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Remove the pizza base from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before topping with tomato sauce and shredded Mozzarella cheese.
  • Return pizza to oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or just until the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with snipped fresh basil and oregano leaves.
