Carnivore Pizza Recipe (Cheese Crust)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, depending on your strictness on carnivore)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, or you can skip for strict carnivore)
- 2-3 tablespoons cooked ground beef, sausage, or bacon (or a combo for toppings)
- 2-3 slices pepperoni or other preferred meats (optional)
- Parchment paper
- Cooking spray (like Pam)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
- Mix the cheese and egg: In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, and the egg. Stir until fully combined. This will form the base of your crust.
- Season: Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning (if using), mixing them in well. This step can be skipped for strict carnivore.
- Spread the mixture: Carefully spread the cheesy mixture onto the baking sheet, forming a round or rectangular crust shape (similar to the cheesy bread recipe).
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm.
- Prepare your toppings: While the crust is baking, cook any meats you’d like to use for toppings (ground beef, sausage, bacon, pepperoni, etc.).
- Add your toppings: Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven. Add your choice of carnivore toppings (meat only—no veggies or non-carnivore ingredients).
- Broil for a minute: If you’d like to crisp up the top, turn on the broiler for 1 minute to melt and crisp the toppings.
- Serve and enjoy! Slice it up, and you’ve got a hearty carnivore-friendly pizza!
Topping Ideas:
- Ground beef, sausage, or bacon crumbles
- Pepperoni or any other deli meats (salami, ham, etc.)
- Shredded chicken or pork belly
- Beef or pork jerky pieces (for a little extra chew!)
