I love breakfast food, even though I’m not a huge breakfast eater. I can eat eggs any time of the day so when Sunday Supper came up with an egg theme for this week’s supper, I knew right away I wanted to make a low carb breakfast pizza.

Using all my favorite pizza toppings  like sausage and sweet peppers, I made this breakfast pizza with a frittata like crust. The result was delicious and I like that it was low carb too. I’m always making those low carb recipes. 🙂

 

Other toppings for this low carb pizza

The beauty of this recipe is that you can put anything you want as a topping. Bacon of course would be yummy but you can also do a pepperoni pizza with red sauce and mozzarella.

I tried that recently and it was great! Or you can do a arugula, red onion and goat cheese. Lots of combinations would work well.

What type of pan to make this pizza in?

You must use an oven safe pan. I used my cast iron skillet  sometimes but also a stainless steel two handled skillet that you can see below. But you can use any pan that goes from the stove to oven.

So to make the egg “crust” you whisk a dozen eggs and cream and cook on the stove for about 3-5 minutes or until you see the sides set up. Then transfer to the oven to cook for another 8 minutes. In the meantime brown the sausage and microwaved the peppers.

 

 

When you pull it out it will be big and puffy. At least mine was. I actually had a deflate it a bit to get it flat so I could add the toppings. Sprinkle the peppers, sausage and cheese over the “pizza crust”. 

 

 

Since the toppings were already cooked I just set it under the broiler until the cheese was nice and melted.

Recipe Notes about Baking TIme

Originally when I made this recipe I baked the egg crust for 15 minutes. It made a dry crust that you can see in the picture below.

More recently I cooked it only for 8 minutes and you can see below that it’s much more moist and I preferred it that way. However if you want it more bread-like then cook it for longer.

Just let it cool for a few minutes and then slice and eat. Delicious! A meal for anytime of the day. I even froze 2 pieces and have had them for lunch. I hope you like this simple low carb breakfast pizza. The nutrition per slice is:

    I was surprised at the amount of eggs it takes to create this breakfast pizza but I can’t wait to try this. SO glad I came across this. Thanks for sharing.

    Great idea! We have it for dinner. I use cream cheese as a “sauce” on top of the eggs then add pepperoni, sausage, spinach, onions and peppers and top with shredded cheese

    Good recipe, will definitely be making again! With my oven safe square pan, the eggs were pretty thick. I would do 9 eggs and 6 tbsp of heavy cream next time to thin out the egg base for a more equal balance of eggs to toppings. I topped with bacon, Sharp cheddar, pimentos, and banana peppers…yum.

      Hi Heather,
      Let me think…..what about coconut milk? Not sure if that would be funky with the coconut taste. You could just try it with straight eggs. It probably won’t rise very much but that doesn’t really matter. I think that might be your best bet. Just don’t add the cream. Good luck! Let me know if it works out.

      Hi Jess,
      It was fine once I reheated it. I just put it in the microwave but not for too long. Just a minute or two until it was heated through.
      Hope that helps!

      If you have an oven safe skillet or pan you can use that. I’m sure you could bake it too, that is put it straight into the oven, but I would not be sure it would take to bake. Hope that helps!

      Hi Sherry, it was a typo and thank you for pointing that out. Ugh! I meant peppers as in sliced peppers. I’ve fixed it. Thanks for letting me know about that and sorry for the inconvenience.

      Hi, I used a heavy cream to keep the carbs lower. As for an eggless mayonnaise, I’m sorry but I have never made that so I’m not much help with that. Thanks for stopping by!

    I want to make this breakfast pizza but note that your recipe calls for cream while a woman commented that it had eggs and cream cheese. Which is it please, cream or cream cheese. Much thanks.

      Hi Diana,
      The recipe calls for cream not cream cheese. I see that comment but I think she meant cream. Regardless it’s cream.
      Thanks for stopping by!
