Ingredients
- 4 4 eggeggs
- 1½ cups (6 oz.) 350 ml (170 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp 3 tbsp unsweetened tomato sauce
- 1 tsp 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1¼ cups (6 oz.) 300 ml (170 g) shredded provolone cheese
- 1½ oz. 45 g pepperoni
- olives (optional)
- 2 oz. (1 cup) 55 g (230 ml) leafy greens
- ¼ cup 60 ml olive oil

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.

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
This recipe calls for tomato sauce, not tomato paste. Tomato sauce is lower carb as it is less concentrated. In the UK, you can use passata if that helps.
Thanks for the tip about the blender. So glad you enjoy this recipe!
Give this one a try :) https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/sullivans-kedough-pizza
That's a great tip, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your feedback on this one. I am so glad you enjoyed this Keto Pizza!
So glad you love it! It's one of my favorites, too!
The taste and texture are a bit more than an omelet. The curst is a bit firmer and it isn't as eggy. My children surprised me by devouring these.
Even my husband (who is a fuss pot) loved it!!
My only criticism;
Amount of egg for the base could be reduced by 1’as it was a bit too runny.
Otherwise beautiful!!
I am so glad that you and your husband loved this one!! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Hi, Roxana! It's the difference of weight vs volume. Milliliters are volume, while grams are weight.
The default setting is for 2 servings, so that's likely what Andreas is referring to. However, if you manually changed the serving size to 1, the ingredients will reflect enough for 1 serving only.
I am glad you enjoyed it! Nice additions with the spinach and red pepper!
Yes! The versatility of this crust is amazing!
I am glad you like this dish so much! It's generally best to vary meals up every so often to make sure we're getting a wide variety of nutritious foods rather than the same ones every meal but you can definitely enjoy this a few times a week!
Great suggestions!

The crust would have a small amount of carbs per serving with the inclusion of the mozzarella cheese. The added cheese, tomato sauce, side salad, and even oregano would contribute to the overall carb count.
But i was wondering how many calories are in a slice?

Great plan, Lisa! So glad you love this recipe!
It's one of my favorites, too! Great idea with the ice cube trays!
Freshly shredded from a block would work well, but feel free to use the type that works best for you!
We have not tested this recipe with just egg whites instead of whole eggs.
