Ingredients
  

  • Crust:
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour (super-fine works best)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional, for a bit of lift)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Sauce and Toppings:
  • 2–3 tbsp sugar-free marinara or low-carb pizza sauce (or 2 tbsp olive oil for a white base)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or breakfast sausage, cooked)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • Red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to taste
  • For Finishing (Optional):
  • Hot sauce or sriracha
  • Fresh basil or parsley
  • Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat and Prep: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment if your cheese tends to stick.
  2. Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups shredded mozzarella and 2 tbsp cream cheese. Microwave for 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway, until fully melted and stretchy. Alternatively, melt gently in a saucepan over low heat.
  3. Mix the Dough: Add almond flour, baking powder (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the melted cheese. Crack in 1 egg. Stir with a spatula until a cohesive dough forms. If it’s sticky, knead it with oiled hands for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Shape the Crust: Place the dough on the prepared parchment. Top with another sheet of parchment and roll it into a 12-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Remove the top parchment. Use a fork to prick a few holes to prevent bubbling.
  5. Par-Bake: Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. If it puffs, gently press it down with a spatula.
  6. Add the Base: Spread a thin layer of sugar-free marinara or brush with olive oil for a white pizza. Keep it light—too much sauce makes the crust soggy.
  7. Layer the Cheese and Veggies: Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese evenly. Add bell pepper, red onion, and spinach. Keep a few small wells or bare spots where the eggs will go.
  8. Add the Eggs: Crack 4 eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them out. If you prefer firmer yolks, you can beat the eggs and drizzle them over instead, or fry separately and top at the end.
  9. Top with Bacon and Seasoning: Scatter crumbled bacon over everything. Add black pepper, a pinch of salt, and red pepper flakes if you like heat.
  10. Bake to Finish: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Watch closely after the 8-minute mark.
  11. Rest and Garnish: Let the pizza rest for 3–5 minutes. Sprinkle with chives or green onions, and add fresh herbs or Parmesan if you like. Slice and serve warm.
