Instructions

Instructions are for 2 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Start by making the crust. Crack eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add shredded cheese. Give it a good stir to combine.
  3. Use a spatula to spread the cheese and egg batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can form two round circles or just make one large rectangular pizza. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the pizza crust turns golden. Remove and let cool for a minute or two.
  4. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (225°C).
  5. Spread tomato sauce on the crust and sprinkle oregano on top. Top with cheese and place the pepperoni and olives on top.
  6. Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the pizza has turned a golden brown color.
  7. Serve with a fresh salad on the side.

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 you're 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.

Keto: Bacon appreciation week #1

The rumors are true! Since bacon is full of protein and fat with no carbs, you can eat bacon every day on a keto diet.

This week, we highlight our favorite recipes that include — you guessed it — bacon. In this meal plan, you will enjoy recipes like Keto cheeseburger meatloaf, Keto cobb salad, and Crispy bacon and kale with fried eggs.

What is it that makes bacon so addictive? Is it the aroma? Is it the sound of the bacon sizzling in the pan or the sight of the beautifully crisp, fatty meat? Perhaps you would agree that it’s the first salty, smoky bite. It’s no wonder why bacon is loved by many.

Pro tip: Make sure to buy good quality bacon without sugar. Check out our bacon guide for cooking tips and more helpful information. You can also mix it up by using turkey bacon or beef bacon in place of pork bacon.

    Is there a way to keep it from sticking? It doesn't separate from the paper at all.

    In general, this shouldn't be sticking to the paper. You may want to double check you're using parchment paper and not waxed paper, which is a common mistake. If you're using parchment paper, you can try "greasing" it with some melted butter.

    I loved this! I was very dubious about the base tasting Eggy but it didn't. I added olive oil to the Tomato base and this made it super crispy and nice then poured more oil on top. Also added broccoli florets with blue cheese and basil seasoning and put the spinach on the pizza. - Can't wait to have this one again, thank you!

    We’ve just had this 2 nights in a row! So so delicious 🤤 made it exactly how the recipe said, had no troubles at all, really not sure how so many people have struggled with this 🤷‍♀️ It tasted just like normal pizza and even my husband ate 2 pieces before I told him it wasn’t dough base, he said he couldn’t tell the difference and he is very picky. Thanks so much for the great recipe, you have so helped me with my pizza cravings! 10/10!

    Wow...I’m speechless! I DID NOT expect this to taste just like a regular pizza! I could not tell the difference at all!! It was absolutely delicious. I made a six serving pizza on a cookie sheet making it easy to measure the servings. I had enough for a few servings and I froze the remaining slices. Will be making this time and time again! Please Diet Doctor...never ever go away!

    I made a breakfast pizza out of this today with country sausage. It tasted good but a whole serving is a lot of food with close to 16 carbs and like 1300+ calories. It has more protein than I need especially in one sitting. However, I prefer this crust to other keto crusts. I like that it uses basic ingredients but it is definitely a special occasion treat not a regular part of the rotation.

    This is a delicious keto pizza and much quicker than other recipes. We made ours in a non stick frypan on the stovetop to make sure it was crispy - cooked it for a few minutes and then flipped it over to get it crispy both sides. Then topped it and put it under the grill to finish it. Quick and tasty! A keeper.

    Tasty but the base was quite ‘eggy’ tasting.
    I think I’ll make the cauliflower base next time.

    I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude but this was so gross. Crust is like an omelet and tastes super eggy but like crusty almost burnt eggs. Won't be making this again.

    The crust is eggy and it stuck to my parchment paper. I had to peel it off. I didn't think the flavor was bad but I didn't think it tasted like a real pizza either.

    We weren't impressed. It didn't taste eggy, per se, but the crust was limp. I baked the crust for 20 minutes, thinking it might crisp up. Never did.

    I made 1/2 recipe for a 8 inch pizza. Sprinkled garlic powder and oregano to the egg, stirred for 5 seconds, added 3oz shredded mozzarella and stirredto combine. I At this point I added a tsp of coconut flour. Baked at the suggested temperature for 10 min. Then followed recipe to the t. Baked the finished product for the whole 10 min it suggested. No egg taste at all. Sort of crispy thinner crust. Will make it again.

    I made this now using eggs and cheddar cheese for the base and it was so gross the egg didnt bind to well when mixing with cheese and the base burnt on edges but stayed soft and tasted eggy in spite of topping with a bolognaise tomato base and cheese.

    I didn't like this pizza. It was like eating pizza toppings on top of a cheese omelette. Not a good mix I need some type of dough with almond flower for Keto pizza. No issues with the preparing or cooking.

    Is the per serving 5g as the whole pizza or 5g per slice? If it was per slice then if I had two slices then I would have consumed 10g?

    There are 5 grams of carbs per serving. If you made the 2 serving recipe with 4 eggs, 1 serving is half the pizza.

    Too eggy, I've had better crispy crust recipies using just the same ingredients. But if I make again I'll definitely change the egg to cheese ratio

    I owed a pizzeria, so I might just be a bit picky. BUT this recipe was nowhere near real pizza. It was quiche with tomato sauce and cheese. I even made it with more cheese to see if it came out any better. It didn't. I get that real pizza is hard to compare to, but there is no way anyone ate this and was fooled. So disappointing.

    This pizza was very eggy. I baked it the first time according to the recipe and it was a fail. So, I decided to attempt it once again; however I used one egg instead of two and I drizzled olive oil on a baking tray so it would not stick. Overall, it was still eggy I would suggest taking out the egg yolk next time or just having a cheese crust.

    This pizza is fabulous, the best keto I have ever tasted. I taste no egg at all with the crust. As of right now I have made it three times. The first just as the recipe states. The second and third times the only thing I did different was to season the crust mix. Once I seasoned with Italian seasoning the next time I added crushed basil.

    So I tried this and it’s not as bad as others are saying in the comments. Also, I made it in a non-stick frying pan on low heat and tasted very good.The first time I tried it I couldn’t get the egg base to be round and rather spread over the whole sheet so I gave up. The frying pan method worked perfectly for me.
    Just a tip😀😀

    Made this recipe a lot in the past & saw your idea about the non stick pan (no grease proof paper in to bake in oven). Gave it a go tonight & it just tasted like an omelette with toppings haha 😂 Not sure where I went wrong or why it changed the flavour so much - just wondering did you flavour your egg mixture at all?

    The egg mixture, the crust, doesn't have seasonings add, but you certainly could do that. The mild cheese, provolone or mozzarella, lends itself to a very neutral flavor.

    I made this tonight and I liked it. I was craving pizza and it helped. It was a bit eggy but I could have stirred it too much so I will try next time not to do that. It is a substitute so it will not taste exactly like the real thing but it was good to me and even my boyfriend enjoyed it. Will definitely add to my list. Thank you for the recipe!
