I've seen the recipe Donald posted and I've always just thought to myself, yeah right.. I was a pizza connoissuer before this wol and just assumed it would never taste like real pizza. Well, I've decided to give it a shot and see what happens.
There's only one problem. I can't cook to save my life! So i've got a list of a few questions and I would be very grateful for some help.
Here's the famous recipe I'll be following.
Quote:
DEEP DISH PIZZA QUICHE
4 oz softened cream cheese
4 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 tbs chives

1/2 tsp wet garlic or 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup lowest carb tomato or pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Toppings to taste (I use pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, whatever!)

Ok, so first of all, I need a pan to put all this in. I read that a lot of people use 9x13 glass pyrex pans, so I'll pick one of those up tonight.
Now.. beating the eggs and cream cheese.. I can do this with a bowl and spoon right? I don't have an electric mixer or anything.
Add the cream, parmesean cheese and spices. I have the kraft parmesan cheese that comes in the green tubes that you use to put on top of pizza. Does this count as grated?
Put 2 cups of shredded cheese in dish and pour egg mixt. over Now, I read about people using pepperonni to use a the base. I bought the little slices of pepperonni like youd see on a mini pizza. Is that the right size slice of pepperonni, or should I buy bigger slices, like bolonga sized?
Concerning the cheeses I normally but the Kraft shredded cheeses that are in those re-sealable bags, will that work for shredded cheeses?
Softened Cream Cheese - Is this regular cream cheese or will it be labeled softened?
Tomato Sauce I really do not like pizza's with sweet tomato sauce, any suggestions on brand names? What do you normally use?
Italian sausage as a topping I'd like to use italian sausage as a topping, can I just pick up an italian sausage and dice it up, or do I need to cook the sausage first?
Final Question Is garlic salt, the same as garlic powder?
Ok, that's it. Thanks in advance for any answers, I know thats a lot of questions!!!
