Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure your pizza crust achieves the perfect crispiness.

Add the Italian cheese, Italian spices, and garlic powder to the cream cheese and egg mixture, stirring thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients.

7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until it’s firm and faintly golden.
8
After baking, let the crust rest for 10 minutes. Top it with the lowest carb pizza sauce available, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and your choice of additional toppings.
9
Return the pizza to the oven and bake again until the cheese is bubbly and golden, approximately another 10 minutes.
10
Allow the pizza to stand for another 10 minutes before slicing and serving, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
