Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and then microwave for another 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Step 3
Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the crust is baking, slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 7
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pesto sauce evenly over it.
Step 8
Top with sliced mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with black pepper.
Step 9
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from oven, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter fresh basil leaves on top.
Step 11
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
