Chicken Broccoli Pizza (Low Carb)

cookin' from scratch's Note:

This recipe is taken from Recipe 84516, Low Carb Pizza, which is very tasty. I made some modifications to lower the number of calories. The original called for heavy cream, but most grocery stores now carry low-carb milk (Hood brand, green and blue cartons). Chicken and broccoli are a great finish on this "crust".

I realized that I didn't have any cream cheese so I used non fat cottage cheese instead. This may have been the reason the "crust" didn't firm very much even after baking an extra 15 minutes. I added tomato sauce instead of the extra layer of cream cheese and topped the pizza with onions, ground turkey breast and bell pepper. For the mozzarella cheese I used garlic and herb almond cheese and this gave a really nice flavor. I added oregano and basil to the egg mixture as well. Despite being a bit more like a lasagna, it was quite tasty. I reviewed this for the adopt a chef contest.
