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.
Low Carb Pepperoni Pizza Frittata
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.
Keto Breakfast Pizza Recipe
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.
Low Carb Breakfast Pizza
Low Carb Breakfast Pizza REcipe in a nutshell
- brown sausage separately and microwave peppers
- whisk eggs and cream and cook in an oven safe skillet for about 3-5 minutes so sides set up
- bake eggs for 8 minutes to make crust
- add toppings and set under broiler for 3 minutes until cheese is 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:

David
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.
Joe C
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
Denise
Great idea Joe! I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks for taking the time to come back and sharing your tips. I appreciate it!
Linda
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.
Denise
Thanks for the input Linda! You combination of ingredients sounds yummy!
Heather
Do you think there’s a way to make this dairy free?
Sounds amazing!
Denise
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.
Judy Wanjiru
I just made this, this morning and it was delicious. My husband loved it too. Just found my to go to pizza. For 2.1 g of carbs???? Can’t beat that.
Denise
Hi Judy,
So glad you liked it! And thank you for taking the time to comment. Enjoy!
Haylee A.
Hi, what do you mean by cream? Like cream cheese or like sour cream? Please and thank you
Denise
Hi Haylee, I meant heavy whipping cream. I have added that to the recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Crystal baker
What if you forgot to add heavy whipping cream .what does the heavy whipping cream do .
Denise
HI Crystal, I might make it a bit dry that’s all. Hope it worked out for you!
Jess
How was it once you reheated it (from being frozen)? How did you reheat it?
Denise
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!
Kelly
love your recipes so much that I signed up for your newsletter/blog by email, but I haven’t gotten a confirmation email yet.
Denise
Hi Kelly, I’m in the process of updating my mailing list. I will make sure you are on our email list and you should get a newsletter this afternoon since I just published a post today. If you don’t, please let me know. Sorry for the confusion.
Amanda
Can you cook this another way if you don’t have a cast iron skillet?
Denise
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!
Sherry
Does this really call for 2 cups pepper? Or was that a typo?
Denise
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.
Mercy
Looks delicious ????… Please I want to know the type of cream to use….. And also the one to use for an egg less mayonnaise
Denise
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!
Diana
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.
Denise
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!
Paul Gietek
This looks great, Can I get someone to give me a cast iron skillet size to use please, it looks like 10″ or 12″. Thank you.
Denise
Hi Paul,
It’s a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Monica
Eggs and Pizza, my two favorites! With dishes like this a low carb diet is no problem.
Denise
Yes Monica, if only I could keep away from sweets. 😉
Karly Campbell
I love the low-carb goodness and my kids will go bonkers over this whole “pizza for every meal” concept. You just get me!

We love eating lots of eggs for breakfast when we do low carb! I bet extra pieces reheat well too!
