Ingredients:
For the Crust:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a blend of mozzarella + cheddar)
2 oz cream cheese (optional for softness)
1 large egg
Pinch of salt (optional)
Toppings (choose any):
More shredded mozzarella
Pepperoni, cooked bacon, sausage crumbles
Ground beef or steak strips
A sprinkle of Parmesan
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together (30 seconds at a time until smooth).
Stir in the egg and mix well until combined — it’ll look like thick dough.
Spread the cheese “dough” into a round crust shape on the parchment-lined tray (about ¼ inch thick).
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and starting to crisp.
3. Add Toppings:
Remove the crust from the oven.
Top with more cheese, your meat toppings, and optional Parmesan.
Return to the oven and bake another 5–7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
4. Optional Broil:
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes — but watch closely to prevent burning.
5. Rest & Serve:
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up.
Storage & Reheat:
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat in a skillet or oven — it gets crispy again!
Variations:
Add an extra egg for a fluffier crust.
Use only mozzarella for a more neutral taste or mix in sharp cheddar for more bite.
Make it into mini pizzas or pizza “bites” by shaping into small rounds before baking.
