Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella, shredded
- 2 eggs, beaten (for dough)
- 1 cup almond flour
- Pinch salt & pepper
Toppings
- 2 eggs, beaten (for topping)
- 6 strips cooked bacon
- 4 sausage links, cooked and diced
- 2 deli ham slices, diced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a cast iron skillet thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Make the cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 20 seconds until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Prepare the dough: In a separate bowl, mix the beaten eggs with almond flour, salt, and pepper until well combined. Then, mix this egg-flour mixture into the melted cheese mixture. Work the combined ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
- Form the crust: Push the dough evenly into the greased cast iron skillet, similar to shaping a deep dish pizza crust. Use a fork to poke holes throughout the dough to prevent air bubbles during baking.
- Bake the crust: Bake the prepared dough in the oven for 10 minutes until it sets and begins to lightly firm up.
- Add the toppings: Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the partially baked crust. Then top with cooked bacon strips, diced sausage, diced ham, and sprinkle with mozzarella and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake until set: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the egg topping is fully set and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then cut into 8 equal slices. Each serving consists of 2 slices.
Notes
- Net carbs are approximately 3 grams per serving, suitable for a ketogenic diet.
- Using a cast iron skillet helps achieve a crispy crust and even cooking.
- You can customize the meat toppings to your preferences or dietary restrictions.
- Ensure all meats are fully cooked before adding to the pizza.
- Microwaving the cheese carefully prevents burning and ensures a smooth dough texture.
