Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

For homemade low carb pizza casserole ideas, read on below:

Shredded mozzarella: The cheese can be switched to other blends or types of cheese. However, mozzarella is a classic cheese used in traditional pizza-making recipes!

Cream cheese: I recommend using full-fat cream cheese if you’re on a low-carb, or keto diet. However, you can swap the full-fat cream cheese with reduced-fat cream cheese to reduce your fat intake.

Minced garlic: Minced garlic is optional, but perfect for those who love garlic. You can always swap minced garlic with either a tiny bit of garlic paste or garlic powder. Garlic powder is ideal if you’re not a fan of freshly minced garlic on your pizza.

Heavy whipping cream: Heavy whipping cream is ideal but can be swapped for whole milk. You can also try swapping it for half-and-half if you do not have any heavy whipping cream in your refrigerator.

Toppings: You can use the toppings you want, such as veggies, pepperoni, bacon, ham, or sausage.

How to Make It

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the remaining ingredients while you’re waiting for your oven to heat up.

Step 2. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of cream cheese and 4 eggs. Beat until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3. Add in the grated Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, oregano, and minced garlic. Stir until combined well.

Step 4. In the bottom of a well-greased 9×13 baking dish, spread out 1 cup of shredded Parmesan and 1 cup of the shredded Mozzarella cheese.

Step 5. Pour the egg mixture over top of the cheese.

Then, smooth it out!

Step 6. Place the baking dish into the oven, and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 7. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and layer ½ cup of low-carb pizza sauce over the top.

Step 8. Place any toppings that you would like in your pizza casserole on top of the sauce.

Step 9. Layer another cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the casserole.

Step 10. Top with additional toppings if desired.

Step 11. Place the casserole under the broiler in the oven until the top is browned and bubbly. This will likely take between 2 and 3 minutes. Keep an eye on your oven to prevent burning!

Tips for Success

Avoid overloading your pizza with too many toppings. Typically, 1 to 4 toppings are best for this low-carb version of pizza! Spread the toppings evenly for optimal results.

Wrap the dish tightly and place into the refrigerator. You can store it for up to 3 or 4 days. You can store it safely in airtight containers or in heavy-duty Ziploc bags.

You can place this dish in the freezer once it has cooled completely. You can wrap it tightly and store it for up to 3 months.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit) and place the casserole dish in the oven. Reheat for 10 to 15 minutes.
