Searching for the greatest margherita pizza? Whip up this scrumptious recipe next time you have an urge for low carb margherita pizza. Made with only a few ingredients, this low carb margherita pizza is easy to make and exceptionally scrumptious while also a good choice for a keto diet.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Mix the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese with the almond flour in a microwaveable bowl. Add the cream cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
- Stir, then microwave on HIGH for another 30 seconds.
- Add the egg, salt, pepper, and other seasonings of choice. Mix gently.
- Place mixture between two pieces of parchment paper and roll into a circular pizza shape. Remove the top paper. If the mixture hardens and becomes difficult to work with, pop it back in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to soften (just don’t heat too long or the egg will cook!).
- Make fork holes all over the pizza base to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Slide the parchment paper with the pizza base, onto a baking tray or pizza stone, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until brown.
- For a crispier crust, broil for 2-3 minutes before removing from oven or flip the pizza over once the top has browned.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and add toppings: coat pizza crust with olive oil and sprinkle with cheese evenly to cover the entire pizza. Add sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with basil.
- Bake for 5 minutes or broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
