Small bowl

Ingredients

Cheesy Egg Base

4 large eggs
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (4 oz / 113 g)
¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated (1 oz / 28 g)
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

3 slices bacon, chopped (3 oz / 85 g)
½ cup heavy cream (4 fl oz / 118 ml)
1 egg yolk
½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (2 oz / 56 g)
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the egg and cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circular shape for your pizza base.
Bake the base in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until it's set and beginning to turn golden brown.
While the base is cooking, fry the chopped bacon in a pan over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream with the egg yolk and Pecorino Romano cheese.
Once the base is cooked, remove it from the oven and spread the cream mixture evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edge.
Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces over the cream mixture.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the topping is warmed through and slightly set.
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley and a generous amount of black pepper.
Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking the base to achieve the right texture.

For a crispier base, try baking for an additional 5 minutes before adding toppings.

The heavy cream mixture should be just enough to cover the base without making it soggy.

Feel free to add additional keto-friendly toppings like sautéed mushrooms or onions if desired.

This pizza serves well with a side salad for added fiber.
