Deep Dish Pizza

This was probably in the top 5 best meals I've made since starting this WOE.  Kids loved it too.  Wish I would have taken a picture of it before we devoured it!

Crust:
3 cups mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
2 cups almond flour
Garlic powder
Oregano
Crushed Red Peppers

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Melt mozzarella in microwave for 90 seconds.  Add eggs and almond flour and mix thoroughly. In a Spring Form pan, spread dough thinly across bottom and up the walls of the pan, approximately 3/4 of the way up the pan.  Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano and crushed red peppers to taste on the dough.  Bake dough for approximately 20 minutes to set the crust.
