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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Roll dough between 2 large pieces of parchment paper. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza pan.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
