Cheese-crust pizza
on 8/25/18 10:34 am
I haven't seen this variation before but I tried it last night and it's pretty yummy. It's filling so a 8inch square pan made 4 servings.
1 c shredded mozzarella
1/2 c shredded cheddar
1/4 c shredded parmesan
2 eggs
italian seasoning, crushed red pepper to taste
Blend all in a food processor til blended
Put the "dough" in an 8 inch casserole, spread to all areas, lined with parchment paper (make sure you can lift out the parchment with the "dough" on it); bake at 350 for 20 minutes
At 20 minutes, when you take it out, it should feel firm; let cool a few minutes while the oven is heated to 400
Take out of pan and put on pizza tray (you can leave the parchment on or off; I removed it); top with your choice of sauce and toppings; bake for 10-12 minutes at 400. Slice in quarters and enjoy!

Cheese and eggs? Sounds very unhealthy to me. Cheese contains the milk protein Casein which promotes cancer in the body if consumed over 10% of calories from dairy, according to the China Study (a 20 year nutritional study). And eggs contain choline which creates toxic TMAO in the body which promotes heart disease and cancer, according to the latest research. And eggs were shown to significantly increase the plaque buildup in the carotid arteries leading to the brain, whi*****reases the risk of stroke. Plus eggs and cheese both have alot of cholesterol and saturated fat. So instead look for a plant based crust recipe on the web.

The great thing about being an adult is that if the recipe is not appealing to you, you don't have to make it! Also true for me not having to look for a plant based crust since that's not my thing.

Also it's true is that if a food is known to promote heart disease and cancer, and increases stroke risk due to arterial plaque buildup to the brain, that it is good to be informed of that and one can choose to make a healthier choice and not consume it. Especially because heart disease is the #1 killer of Americans and cancer is #2. And according to research and human studies, we know that heart disease can be prevented or reversed through an oil-free plant-based diet. And "As many as 50 percent of all cardiac deaths due to disease in the heart's vessels occur in individuals with no prior history or symptoms of heart disease."
