Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Start by making the crust. Crack eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add shredded cheese. Give it a good stir to combine.
- 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.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (225°C).
- Spread tomato sauce on the crust and sprinkle oregano on top. Top with cheese and place the pepperoni and olives on top.
- Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the pizza has turned a golden brown color.
- Serve with a fresh salad on the side.

Start free trialCan 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.

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.
Thank you.
I think I’ll make the cauliflower base next time.
It tastes good.
There are 5 grams of carbs per serving. If you made the 2 serving recipe with 4 eggs, 1 serving is half the pizza.
Love the idea of adding seasonings to the crust! Sounds great!
Just a tip😀😀
Awesome! I am so glad it worked for you!
In many stores, there are cans of unsweetened tomato sauce in the section with the canned diced tomatoes.
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.
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing your feedback on this one :)
We have not tested this recipe with the vegan cheese substitutes.
I am not a great cook, but I used to love pizza: my question: Can you top this pizza (the crust) also with "normal" vegetables you like other than pepperoni etc.? Like zucchini and salad or asparagus?
Thanks.

Sure! You can use any low-carb options you like as toppings.
