Enjoying your low carb diet but missing pizza night with the family? Here is a quick and easy recipe that will your whole family can sink their teeth into and keep you on your low carb eating plan. This is basically a modified oopsie recipe with some mozzarella "rebar" from structural integrity.
Batter:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend softened cream cheese and eggs together until smooth in a medium mixing bowl Add in Parmesan cheese and heavy cream and continue mixing.

Spices:
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning or pizza seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Basically, anything you think would add flavor to a pizza is fairly safe to add in at this point. To be safe, don't go overboard with too many different spices. Blend/mix until evenly dispersed. Grease a cookie sheet and evenly spread out about 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. Pour the batter evenly over the cheese "rebar" and assist in getting the mixture all the way to the edge and leveled out. Bake for 25-30 minutes (at 375 degrees). Cooking times will vary based on your oven and altitude so check on it after about 20 minutes and then again every couple minutes and remove when the top starts to brown.

On the top:
1/2 cup (or less) pizza sauce or tomato sauce (the lowest carb you can find)
@1 cup mozzarella cheese
pizza toppings (choose wisely based on your daily carb limit)
These toppings will make your basic pepperoni pizza (pictured) but this is where you can get really creative and customize your pizza. Add as many toppings as you are allowed, being sure NOT to exceed your daily carb limit. Sparingly spread some of the pizza sauce and then cover with the remaining mozzarella cheese and any other toppings you have on hand. The more low carb toppings you add, the more filling each slice will be. Put the pizza back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese and warm up your toppings.

As previously mentioned, this is an interesting variant of the base oopsie recipe but this is definitely one of the most filling and satisfying recipes to date. Some people have reported that the pizza actually tastes better the next day and is perfect straight from the refrigerator.

Oh that sounds fantastic!!Thanks for posting!!
That crust looks so awesome! It looks like real pizza crust! I have been wanting to try the oopsie recipes, but haven't yet. Looks awesome! It sucks that cheese like that is so expensive, but, when you think about it, it isn't that expensive per serving, I think.

Very tasty, but a little limp....have you tried cooking the pizza part on a rack or something?
Also discovered my oven is lop-sided! Dogs loved the burnt corner!
I have only tried this recipe and since I love eating it straight from the refridgerator, the "limpness" of the pizza wan't an issue for me. :)
Sounds delicious. I don't care if the pizza crust is limp or not, Its PIZZA!!!! yummmmmmmmmmm.
Thanks! Hubby might actually eat and enjoy this compared to the cauliflower crust or zucchini crust.
I dont have heavy cream so going to do the substitute-3/4 cup of milk and 1/3 cup of butter. Hope it turns out the same! :) Thanks again

I just made this and it is fantastic!!!! A great addition to my low carb recipes!!!!
I now make this on a weekly basis - it's absolutely delicious. I use pesto instead of tomato sauce and top with onions, peppers, mushrooms and more mozzarella. It serves 3 VERY generously or 6 if you had a side salad as well. Thank you to whoever invented this marvelous creation!
