Ingredients
-
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
-
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon dried oregano
-
salt to taste
-
½ cup pork rinds, crushed, or more to taste
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
Combine mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and salt in a bowl. Mix with a hand mixer or an immersion blender until well combined. Add 1/2 cup pork rinds and mix with a spoon until well combined. Add more pork rinds if needed to form a dough.
-
Form dough into a large disc, or divide into smaller portions if desired. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to make it easier to roll.
-
Roll dough between 2 large pieces of parchment paper. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. If the crust is greasy, use a paper towel to mop up some of the grease during baking to get a crispier crust.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool. At this point your crust is ready for topping and final baking.
Cook's Notes:
The pork rinds should be crushed or ground to the consistency of almond flour. You can use ground keto cheese crackers instead, if preferred, or a combination of the two.
I use low-moisture mozzarella cheese (which has less grease) so the crust isn't soggy. You can use a paper towel to mop up some of the cheese grease when baking the crust to get a crispier crust.
