PIZZZAAA

 So I believe this was posted on here a few days ago so if I need to credit someone please let me know.  Anyways, I made this yesterday and it was AMAZZZING.  I've been craving pizza since surgery but no way will I have a real piece.  I tried the low-carb tortilla but I'm not a fan.  When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. It tasted like real pizza!  Anyways, It was deeelicious and hit the spot.  

Brok's Low Carb Pizza Recipe

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded 

4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded 

3 eggs 

1 teaspoon garlic powder 

1 teaspoon basil, optional 
Toppings of your choice * (I used turkey pepperoni, sauteed onions and mushrooms, lite spaghetti sauce, and a little more mozzarella)

Mix the cheeses, eggs, garlic powder and basil well. Line a 16-inch pizza pan  with parchment paper or nonstick foil. Evenly spread the cheese mixture in the pan, almost to the edge, making it as thin as possible. Bake at 450º 15-20 minutes until golden brown. I suggest checking it after about 10 minutes. If it's getting very dark on the edges and top, turn the oven down to 400º and continue baking until brown all over and no longer pale on the bottom. Pat off any excess grease then add your toppings. Keeping the oven rack in the center position, put the pizza under the broiler until the toppings are hot and any cheese you added is melted and bubbly, about 4-5 minutes.

Makes 8 servings 

Can be frozen

* You may want to sauté your mushrooms, peppers and other vegetable toppings before using because the pizza will only be baked briefly with the toppings on. I also recommend pre-warming any meat toppings as well. I put all of my toppings, except the sauce and cheese, in a big skillet and heated them up together.

 

The entire Pizza is: (These calculations are only approximations and made by someone else who used different cheese..just FYI)

 

20g of carbs: for the crust and sauce that I used.  I used a pack of Mozzarella and half pack of cheddar for the crust.

 

119g of protein: Just in the crust alone!  The whole bag of cheese that I used had 7g of protein per serving.  There were 8 servings in a bag.  That's 56g of protein!  The crust also has 3 eggs which is 6 grams of protein an egg.

 

So Just the Crust and Sauce alone is 20g of carbs and 119g of protein!  I used Trader Joes Three Cheese Pasta Sauce.  It has the least amount of carbs I've seen per serving!  Only 4g of Net Carbs per 1/2 cup (all I used) and 3g of protein.



*Anyways, if this looks familiar to someone and you want me to credit you, just let me know.  I am not trying to claim this as my own!!

Yummy!!!  

 This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it in a couple of weeks/months after my surgery. Thanks for sharing.

This really sounds good! I bet my kids will even like this pizza...will have to try this week.

we eat somehting like this nd love it! I think the other yummy one is the cauliflower crust one but this is even frendlier for folks who had surgery more recently. My approach: when my family eats pizza, I just eat the meat, cheese and tomato sauce off the top :p
