We are choosing a delicious line-up of meats and low-carb veggies for toppings on this breakfast pizza, such as: bacon, sausage, mushrooms, etc (see the full list below). Of course, you can customize this recipe with your own favorite low carb toppings! Before you get into cooking, you’ll pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Then you’ll get started on the crust.

For the Crust

To get started with this pizza, you’ll first make your crust. The “crust” for this pizza is actually cheese-based (yum)! This kind of dough is sometimes called “fat head” dough. Because it’s high fat/low carb, this is a great dough to know how to make when you are on the Keto diet, especially.

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese for 1 minute. Then pull it out and stir to combine and make a gorgeously cheesy blob.

In another smaller bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, pepper, and eggs. Stir this mixture into the cheese mixture to create a dough.

Once everything’s combined, press the dough into a 12-inch cast iron skillet or onto a pizza stone. Pierce the dough with a toothpick to make holes in it. (This helps keep your dough from puffing up when you bake it.)

Place your cast iron skillet (or pizza stone) in the oven and bake the dough for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove from the oven.

For the Toppings

While your crust is baking is the perfect time to work on the rest of your pizza. (Note: This recipe calls for cooked sausage and bacon, so if you haven’t already cooked these ingredients, you’ll want to do that before adding them to your pizza.) Next, heat some oil in a medium skillet and saute the onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften. Then add the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes.  Remove from heat.

After this, you will whisk together the eggs and then pour them- uncooked- over the crust.

Over the eggs, layer the meats and vegetables. 

Top with your favorite kind of cheese. (Mine is extra sharp cheddar!)

Slide the pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes (or until the cheese has melted). Serve your finished pizza by cutting it into “slices” and garnishing with sliced green onions, if desired.
