Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp Cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup Almond flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth (about 1.5 minutes).

- Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and top it with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings.
- Bake again for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil or oregano if desired. Slice and serve!
