Pizza isn't typically a weight-loss meal.
But with a dough base made of eggs, it even becomes a low-carb pizza.
Do you love pizza?
But do you want to
largely do without carbohydrates because of a
low-carb diet ?
Then here is the good news of the day for you: You can also bake pizza in a low-carb-friendly version – with a simple trick.
Eggs instead of yeast dough: This is how pizza becomes a low-carb recipe
What is pizza traditionally made with?
yeast dough*.
Wheat flour, sugar and yeast provide plenty of carbohydrates.
So the
solution
to making
a
pizza suitable
for
low-carb
is to replace the dough.
And not with just anything, but with an ingredient that is also rich in protein: omelets.
You can
add whatever you like
to
your
other pizzas: mushrooms, peppers, corn, ham, salami, etc. In this way, the "normal" pizza can easily be turned into an
egg pizza
.
And the pizza is ready faster that way: no endless waiting for the yeast dough to rise!
No oven needed!
The egg pizza is simply
baked
in the pan
.

6 eggs
1 heaped tbsp flour

Make low-carb pizza yourself: recipe for quick egg pizza
Prepare the ingredients for the topping that you want to use: wash and dice vegetables, chop sausage, etc. Here's a trick to make slicing and deseeding peppers easier.
Heat a large non-stick pan with some oil on the stovetop on high.
Whisk together the eggs and flour until smooth and pour into the hot pan just like you would for making an omelette.
Let the omelette cook for about a minute.
Meanwhile, top the egg pizza according to your taste with the ingredients of your choice.
Turn the stove down to the lowest setting.
Place the lid on the pan and let the egg pizza cook until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Then transfer the
egg pizza
to a large plate, cut into halves or quarters and are ready to serve.
Enjoy your meal!
