This was inspired by my daughters 12th birthday dinner request. PIZZA!!! But we were on a tight budget and we all are trying to watch our bread intake. This is a great meal that catered to both issues.
OMG!! The crust is there ... you see it holding the toppings in place as you slide it onto your fork... then when it is in your mouth is melts and adds the perfect flavor to the toppings. WINNER DINNER for sure!
The cast of players are :
Crust
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, room temperature. Sorry no fat free please, it does not melt right
2 eggs
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Topping
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
toppings - pepperoni, ham, sausage, mushrooms, peppers
Garlic powder
Preheat your oven to 350.
Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. With a mixer ( hand or stand ), mix cream cheese, eggs, pepper, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese until combined. Spread into the baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, our until golden brown. Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes.
Spread pizza sauce on crust. Top with cheese and toppings. Sprinkle pizza with garlic powder. Bake the finished dish 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
