Low Carb Food Porn? Do You Have Eggs & Cheese? Then You Have PIZZA!

Okay, folks....Here is another variation of Nancy's Low Carb Pizza!

I added an extra egg to make a slightly chewier crust. This is like a traditional, hand tossed pizza!

Ingredients for crust~

4 Eggs
3 Cups Shredded Mozzerella
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar/Jack Combo
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Basil

Mix all this in a bowl until all the cheese is coated with egg. I do it by hand, like when you make a meatloaf

The extra egg makes a traditional, substantial crust.

Your cheese egg combo will feel wet, but just pat, pat, pat it out onto your pam sprayed pan.

Bake at 450 for 10-15 minutes

Here is a picture before baking








Once it is baked it will look like this













Now, add your toppings







I used

1/4 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella

1/4 cup shredded cheddar/jack

12 Italian Meatballs sliced into quarters

1 onion sautéed



Top the pizza and run it under the broiler at 500 until cheese is melted.



Here's what my finished pizza looked like! ~~~~~ I know you're drooling!











This yields a slightly thicker, chewy crust with crispy edges.





It makes a huge 16 inch pizza.





It yields 12 to 16 slices with a very low carb count depending on toppings.















If you like a classic, chewy crust, this one is for YOU!





Is this what we call food porn?









Enjoy with a side salad or some yummy broccoli!











DINNER IS SERVED!











Hope you will try it, especially if you low carb, or avoid gluten. No
flour of any kind in this yummy pizza!
