I've used the same recipe for pizza "crust", but added more herbs and increased the eggs and cream cheese to 4 and 4 oz respectively.
They are very versatile. I add different ingredients depending on what I want to make them into. My daughter eats a low carb diet, so the recipe comes in handy!
In fact, I made "Oopsie Pizza" for her birthday dinner last night. Her friends LOVED it-and you know teen-agers and their love of pizza.
