🍕 Carnivore Pizza Recipe

Description

This Carnivore Pizza is a delicious, low-carb alternative to traditional pizza. Instead of a flour crust, it uses a cheesy, egg-based crust that bakes up golden and sturdy enough to hold all your favorite meaty toppings. It’s the perfect comfort food for anyone on the carnivore, keto, or low-carb lifestyle—crispy edges, gooey melted cheese, and savory toppings in every bite.

Ingredients

Crust:

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• (Optional) ½ tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning (if you allow spices)

Toppings (choose your favorites):

• ½ lb (225g) cooked sausage
• ½ cup pepperoni slices
• ½ cup cooked bacon crumbles
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella (extra for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   • Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust
   • In a bowl, mix mozzarella, Parmesan, and eggs until combined into a sticky “dough.”
   • Spread mixture into a circle (about ¼-inch thick) on the parchment paper.
3. Bake Crust
   • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
4. Add Toppings
   • Sprinkle cooked sausage, pepperoni, bacon, and more mozzarella cheese over the crust.
5. Final Bake
   • Return to oven for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve
   • Let cool 5 minutes before slicing—it helps the crust hold together.

Notes

• The crust is cheese-based, so it holds together best when cooled slightly before cutting.
• Use parchment paper—this prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
• Make it extra cheesy by adding mozzarella on both the crust and toppings.

Tips

• For a firmer crust, bake it a little longer before adding toppings.
• If you want variety, try ground beef, chicken, or even pulled pork as toppings.
• Add fresh herbs (if allowed on your plan) like oregano or basil for aroma.
• For meal prep, make mini pizzas instead of one big one.

Servings

• Makes 4 servings (or 2 very hearty portions).

Q&A

Q: Can I store leftovers?
A: Yes! Keep in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness.

Q: Can I freeze it?
A: Bake the crust ahead of time, freeze, then top and bake when ready. This keeps texture better.

Q: What cheese works best for the crust?
A: Mozzarella and Parmesan give the best hold. You can mix in cheddar for flavor.

Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
A: Not really, since cheese is the base of the crust. Instead, try using ground chicken or beef pressed into a thin crust and baked as a “meatza.”
