What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Color of Food: Gluten-Free Crustless Pizza! Are you ever tempted to just eat the toppings off a pizza? For those who require a gluten-free lifestyle or simply desire fewer carbs, here is a healthy alternative on pizza night. Eliminate the crust altogether. By substituting eggs and cheese for bread dough, it’s surprising how this turns into a delicious deep dish pizza.
GLUTEN-FREE CRUSTLESS PIZZA
Ingredients:
8-ounce cream cheese
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
4 ounces pepperoni, sliced
1/3 cup ham, chopped
1/3 cup chorizo sausage, cooked and crumbled
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon basil
1/8 teaspoon marjoram
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10”-12” iron skillet with nonstick oil. Set aside. Combine cream cheese, eggs, black pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Spread in a single layer in the prepared pan. Bake 20 minutes until light brown. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over crust. Top with mozzarella cheese. Arrange pepperoni, ham, chorizo sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and chopped onion. Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and marjoram. Bake 15 minutes longer until cheese is melted. Cool 5 minutes before cutting into pizza slices.
Interesting approach.

If my daughter-in-law didn’t need to watch the gluten in her diet, I probably wouldn’t go down this road. It’s been kinda fun, actually. 😋🌿👏🍕😜

If someone told me “Hey, I have a pizza but it’s gluten free and uh . . no crust” I would give them the what’s what. But you . . I trust you. You are my food scientist go-to person . . so if you say so, I gotta see.

Since it has extra cheese….I could do it on occasion. Basically though, I love bread. 💕🍞🥐🥖🍕🧀

I love cheese and I love bread, which is why I have moved away from having pizza once a week. Love is so hard!

Then everyone is happy! I have to say, I think it is a better idea to just forget the crust altogether since so many of the gluten-free crusts are just terrible!

There’s one company close to here that makes some pretty good gf breads, but the problem is they use eggs to compensate for the lack of yeast, and often they taste more like a cream puff than a baguette. I guess that is better than sawdust…

I think it’s all about what you get used to in taste and flavors. For awhile I drank almond milk. Didn’t care for the sweetened versions or vanilla flavor so instead gave up milk. 🤣

Yes, sometimes it is easier to give something up than settle for something you don’t like!

This looks interesting but just now I couldn’t eat another thing! Our first lunch outing in a long time! Peppered chicken on a bed of champ (mash with spring onions, what we call scallions) followed by chocolate mousse with vanilla ice cream and raspberries! Here they say: would you like a little extra cream, Sir? I had to say no! 😋😋😋
