Keto pizza

Ingredients

Crust

• 4 eggs
• 1½ cups (6 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

Topping

• 3 tbsp unsweetened tomato sauce
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1¼ cups (6 oz.) shredded provolone cheese
• 1½ oz. pepperoni
• olives (optional)

For serving

• 2 oz. (1 cup) leafy greens
• ¼ cup olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Start by making the crust. Crack eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add shredded cheese. Give it a good stir to combine.

4. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (225°C).
5. Spread tomato sauce on the crust and sprinkle oregano on top. Top with cheese and place the pepperoni and olives on top.
