Gluten Free, Keto friendly cream cheese pizza crust

2 (8 oz) package of full fat cream cheese, room temperature
4 eggs
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
4 - 8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning


Preheat oven to 350.
Spray a pizza pizza pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. With a handheld mixer, mix cream cheese, eggs, pepper, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese until combined. Spread into pizza pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

One thing that I will do, is use parchment paper on top of the pizza pan. Once the pizza crust has cooked the first time, I will slide the parchment paper off of the pan and put that onto a large pizza peel .

From there I will take the pizza pan that this cooked in, and turn it upside down and put it to top of the pizza crust (so the top of the pizza crust now becomes the bottom). I will then use the Pizza peel to flip it so that the pizza is now back in the pan. I will then cook it for about 5-10 minutes longer to give it a nice crispy crust for the pizza.

Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes. I usually double the recipe to make a "hand tossed" like crust, which needs to bake for about 30 minutes or so. I also put the pizza crust on the broiler for about 7 minutes to crisp up the bottom. I also use Neufchâtel cheese instead of cream cheese.

I have tried red sauce on this pizza crust and honestly, it tastes like eating spaghetti-o's, not all that great. What I have found out to be the best is to use ranch dressing as the sauce instead.

Here is a video of the whole operation:




Chicken Cordon bleu casserole

Gluten free and Keto friendly Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole. This is a super easy casserole to make that is not only gluten free, but it is also keto friendly. I did not bother to figure out the calorie or carb count in this because I make it differently and in different size pans. I usually make this in a 9x13 pan, but will sometimes use a large casserole pan / roaster pan. Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes (you can also use some leftover turkey or even chicken thighs)
  • 1 large ham steak cut into cubes (1/2 inch or so), or about 4 cups of cubed ham
  • 8-10 ounces of shredded swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 12 ounces of cream cheese or neufenchtal cheese that is softened
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3-4 teaspoons of garlic powder to taste
  1. Pre-cook the chicken to prevent this dish from being extremely watery
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees
  3. In a large mixing bowl , add in the cream cheese and the heavy whipping cream and mix it with a handheld mixer until it is fully mixed together. It will seem extremely thick, but this is normal
  4. Place the cut up chicken, ham and the spices into the mixing bowl and mix well
  5. Add the mixture to the casserole dish or the 9x13 pan and evenly spread out
  6. Top with cheese and bake in the oven for 40 - 50 minutes
