Ingredients:

BASE:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1/3 cup cream
1/4 cup parmesan
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning mixture
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
8 ounces Italian cheese blend or mozzarella, shredded

TOPPINGS:
1/4 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces mozzarella, shredded
Assorted toppings: pepperoni, ham, sausage, 4 ounce can mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, hamburger, etc.
Dash of garlic pepper or garlic powder and some Italian seasoning for top of pizza

Cooking Instructions:

BASE:

Beat the cream cheese, in a medium bowl, until soft and creamy. Gradually beat in eggs, one at a time. Don't be tempted to just dump the eggs into the cream cheese all at once, the cream cheese will just stay in little lumps. Add the cream, parmesan and seasonings; stir in the 8 ounces of Italian cheese. Grease a 9x13" glass baking dish. Spread egg/cheese mixture evenly in pan. Bake at 375?, for 15-20 minutes, or until nicely browned. You want it to be nice and brown for the bread-like texture, but watch it closely. Let stand 5 minutes.

TOPPINGS:

Spread crust with pizza sauce, then 4 ounces of mozzarella and the toppings of your choice. Sprinkle with garlic pepper. Bake until bubbly and browned, about 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
