Pizza crust made out of cheese results in a delicious, crispy crust. As far as the toppings go, add as many or as little as you want. What's best of all, it's keto!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese , shredded
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese , softened
  • 0.75 cups almond flour
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper , or to taste
  • 1 egg , beaten, at room temperature
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Place 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well. Add almond flour, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Use your hands to combine dough. Once combined, add beaten egg and stir until well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Spray 2 large pieces of parchment paper with non-stick spray. Place dough on one piece of parchment paper and cover with the second piece. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten pizza dough to a 10-inch round. Remove top parchment paper and place bottom piece of parchment paper with flattened pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Pierce all of the pizza dough with a fork to prevent the dough from rising.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until bottom starts to brown, 12 to 17 minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile place chorizo in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a paper towel. Microwave in three 1-minute increments, uncovering and stirring meat well after each.

  6. 6

    Remove pizza crust from oven and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, chorizo, salsa, and onion. Bake until cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes more. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
