- 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2–3 fresh jalapeños, sliced (adjust based on heat preference)
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: cooked bacon bits, additional cheese, or a drizzle of ranch dressing
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- If using a store-bought crust, roll it out according to package instructions. If making homemade dough, prepare it as desired.
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer, distributing evenly.
- Arrange the sliced jalapeños on top of the cheese, adjusting the quantity to your heat preference.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over the pizza for added flavor and moisture.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle diced green onions over the top for a fresh touch.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the cheese set slightly, making it easier to cut.
Notes
- Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your heat preference.
- Feel free to add your favorite toppings.
