Ingredients
Scale
Main Cheese Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
Seasoning and Topping Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Pepperoni (or other toppings of your choice)
- Pizza sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Create a versatile pizza base by blending mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with eggs and Italian seasoning until thoroughly integrated.
- Prepare a parchment-lined cookie sheet, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Gently spread the cheese mixture across the entire parchment surface, using steady pressure to create an even, thin layer resembling a crispy crust.
- Decorate the surface with pepperoni slices, arranging them uniformly for consistent flavor distribution.
- Position the cookie sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F, maintaining an environment that allows cheese to melt and edges to crisp beautifully.
- Monitor the pizza closely during baking, watching for a golden-brown perimeter and bubbling cheese surface, which typically takes approximately 25 minutes.
- Extract the cookie sheet carefully, allowing the keto pizza to rest and slightly firm up for easier cutting.
- Slice into neat squares, creating individual portions perfect for serving.
- Optional: Accompany with a small portion of pizza sauce for enhanced dipping pleasure, complementing the savory cheese base.
Notes
- Cheese matters most when selecting high-quality mozzarella and Parmesan for authentic flavor and perfect melt.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the pizza cookie sheet.
- Customize toppings based on personal preference, keeping low-carb options like pepperoni, olives, or bell peppers.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes after baking to help the cheese set and make cutting easier, preventing crumbling.
