- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (225°C).
- Spread tomato paste on the crust and sprinkle oregano on top. Top with cheese and place the pepperoni and olives on top.

Can I use other ingredients for the crust?
For this recipe, both eggs and cheese are necessary. Feel free to use other types of cheese, like goat cheese if you try to avoid cow's milk. You can also mix different kinds of cheese to find the flavor combination that works best for you.
There are many ways of making gluten-free, low-carb and keto pizza crusts. You can make it with cauliflower, eggplant, ground meat or make it with almond flour like in the very popular Fathead pizza.
Can I use other toppings?
Go ahead and try sun-dried tomato pesto or a jar of spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce instead of tomato paste, but make sure there is no added sugar. Low-carb and keto topping options are endless: bacon (have you tried our keto breakfast pizza?), salami, mushrooms, blue cheese, shredded chicken, sautéed onions, feta cheese… you know what you like!
Can I store this dish?
This pizza keeps for at least 2-3 days in the fridge and reheats great in the microwave. When your in the process of baking it, make an extra crust or two and put in the freezer. Put parchment paper in between the crusts if you're making more than one. Whenever you're in the mood for pizza, just grab a crust, top it with whatever is in your fridge and bake it off. Voila! Dinner in no time!
You can also use the crust as a wrap and fill it with anything you like, for example deli roastbeef or tuna and eggs.

Also what are the calories?
In this recipe you don't use almond flour.
I've mixed the eggs with the finely grated cheese ( not roughly grated, so it would have a more paste-like texture), and I've let it sit for about 20minutes.
Spread it on baking paper, baked it for about 15 minutes. Boy, when I opened the oven door...that delicious aroma. I've also added basil and garlic powder into the "dough" mixture.
Topped it with our favourites, bacon, olives and roughly grated cheese. 15more minutes and Voilá!
BUT! The most amazing part is that on the next day, it tastes 100/100 like "regular" pizza!!! Fresly out of the oven the crust can be reckognised as one without flour (the taste is great here too), but on the day after it's even more delicious!
...and guilt free :P
