Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup almond flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 2 eggs
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1/2 pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and grease a cast iron pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure a crisp crust.
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 oz cream cheese and 2 cups shredded mozzarella. To make mixing easier, you can microwave this cheese mixture for 1 minute until melted and smooth.
- Mix almond flour and eggs: In another bowl, mix 2 beaten eggs with 1 cup almond flour. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine dough ingredients: Add the almond flour and egg mixture to the melted cheese mixture. Work the combined ingredients with your hands until a dough forms.
- Form the crust: Press the dough evenly into the greased cast iron skillet, shaping it to cover the bottom and edges.
- Bake the crust: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake the crust for 10 minutes to set before adding toppings.
- Add toppings and eggs: Remove the skillet from the oven. Crack 2 eggs over the partially baked crust. Top evenly with cooked bacon, cooked sausage, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar, and chopped green onions.
- Bake the pizza: Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Once baked, let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving for a delightful breakfast or brunch option.
