2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp grated Parmesan or more mozzarella (optional for extra firmness)
-
1/4 tsp salt
Optional add-ins:

Salt to taste
🍳 Instructions:
🧀 Cheese-Based Crust (Fathead-Style):
-
Melt the cheese:
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together (about 1 minute, stir halfway). Or use a stovetop on low heat.
-
-
Mix in egg and optional ingredients:
-
Let the cheese cool a bit so the egg doesn’t scramble.
-
Add the egg, Parmesan, salt, and pork rinds if using.
-
Mix until a dough forms.
-
-
Form the crust:
-
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
-
Spread the dough out thin (¼ inch thick) using wet hands or a spatula.
-
-
Bake:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Bake crust for 8–10 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Optional: Flip and bake 2–3 more minutes for a firmer base.
-
-
Top & Bake Again:
-
Add carnivore-friendly toppings like ground beef, bacon, sausage, and cheese.
-
Bake another 5–7 minutes until cheese melts.
-
🥩 Meat-Only Crust (Zero Dairy):
-
Mix ground meat, egg, and salt in a bowl.
-
Spread it flat on a parchment-lined tray or cast iron pan (¼ to ½ inch thick).
-
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until browned and firm.
-
Carefully drain excess fat.
-
Add toppings (optional: more meat, egg, or organ meats) and bake again 5–7 minutes.
🧀 Topping Ideas:
-
Cooked ground beef, sausage, or pepperoni
-
Fried egg
-
Bacon strips
-
More shredded cheese (if you include dairy)
-
Liver pâté dots or bone marrow (for a nutrient bomb)
