Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Arugula
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Basil leaves, fresh

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave the mixture for about 1 minute or until melted. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of almond flour, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you can lightly oil your hands to knead it until smooth.

Step 4

Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, until the crust begins to brown lightly.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and arrange 4 slices of prosciutto on top.

Step 7

Return the crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the prosciutto is slightly crispy and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Toss the dressing with 1 cup of arugula.

Step 9

Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the dressed arugula, 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil leaves.

Step 10

Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb prosciutto and arugula pizza!
