Ingredients

• 1/2 c. almond flour
• 1/4 c. golden flax meal
• 1/4 c. unflavored, unsweetened whey protein powder
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 3 T. cream cheese, softened
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 c. grated Monterrey Jack cheese
• 1/2 c. grated Mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp. cider vinegar
• 1 T. heavy cream
• 1 T. water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º. Soften cream cheese in medium mixing bowl in microwave. Beat in the eggs, cream, water, vinegar and both cheeses. Measure and add in all the dry ingredients and stir well with a rubber spatula. Line a sheet pan either with parchment paper or silicone sheet. Scrape the batter onto the prepared pan, spreading it as evenly as possible with the spatula into a circle that is roughly 13½” in diameter. Batter will be about ¼” thick. Pop crust into a 350º oven and bake for about 20 minutes and remove. Slide the parchment paper out from under the crust so air will flow to the bottom and it will brown nicely. Add sauce, cheeses and toppings. Bake an additional 20 minutes or so.
