Cream Cheese Pizza Crust?? Is it Nommy??

YES!!!! IT IS FREAKING DELICIOUS!!!  Such a strange recipe.... I would have NEVER thought to do this, but it was WONDERFUL!!  It's a little too fatty for me to have on a daily basis, but every once and awhile as a special treat it wouldn't be too bad.  I loved it, hubby loved it, and more importantly my SUPER PICKY eater LOVED IT!!!  It is Ku approved which means a lot to me.


Con is that it's a soft crust- you have to eat it with a fork, but it's totally worth it!!


This is a gluten free recipe so if you can't have gluten it's a FANTASTIC alternative!!


Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

·         6 eggs

·         6 oz cream cheese (3/4 package) at room temperature

·         1 teaspoon garlic powder

·         1½ teaspoon oregano or other Italian seasoning

·         ½ teaspoon salt

·         pinches of black and/or cayenne pepper

·         1 cup (or a little more) shredded Italian cheeses, at least half of which is a hard cheese (Parmesan, Assagio)

Preparation:

Heat the oven to 350° F.

1) Be sure the cream cheese is at about room temperature. Using a regular blender, food processor, or (my preferred) stick blender, mix the egg and cream cheese until well blended. Add the salt and spices and blend again.

2) Spread cheese in bottom of well-buttered 9X13 pan. I often use an Italian blend such as Trader Joe's Quattro Formaggio. Pour egg mixture over the cheese, and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is browning.

3) Remove from oven, add pizza toppings, and bake until done - about another 10-15 minutes.

Makes 8 servings.
