Fathead Pizza Crust

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 Tablespoons cream cheese

2 cloves of garlic, minced

          Place in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute.  Stir. Microwave 30 second more.

Stir in: 

1 egg

3/4 cup almond flour

Microwave 20 second more if cheese starts to harden. 

Spread with wet hands on parchment covered pizza pan.  This makes a nice 10 inch pizza. Dock with a fork, and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 8 minutes.  Spread with sauce if using, and other toppings,  Bake 8 minutes longer. (I usually let the pizza sit for about 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven.)

TIM'S NOTES: This makes a nice pizza for one person.  For a light lunch or supper for two people, serve it with a small salad.  I like to add chopped fresh herbs to the crust, too, like Rosemary, Oregano, and Basil. If using mushrooms as a topping, I like to saute them first to remove some of the moisture.  The shredded mozzarella often comes in a 2 cup package.  Use the whole package in the crust, or save the 1/2 cup extra for the top of the pizza.  Either way works fine.
