(Raven's Take on Nancy Elle's Classic)
Ingredients:
5 jumbo eggs
3 cups mozzarella cheese
1 cup mexi-melt cheese
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon fennel seeds (crushed)
½ teaspoon basil
½ teaspoon oregano
Low Carb Marinara sauce ¼ cup/ Or Red Salsa ¼ cup
Or a mix of both, to create ¼ cup total.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl
Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Line a large rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. Using a spatula , spread egg/cheese mixture evenly.
Place pan in oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes to half an hour, or until cheese/egg mix is browned and firm.
When done, set out to cool. Loosen the crust on the parchment paper.
Spread with a low carb pizza sauce or for even fewer carbs, use salsa, or a salsa/marinara sauce mix.
Place toppings of your choice on the pizza--
Pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, shrimp, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, onions, Canadian bacon, etc, . Use your imagination!
Top with mozzarella cheese, and place under broiler on HI (middle rack) and broil 'till cheese is just starting to brown.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
My Housemates were apparently quite wowed by this recipe.
*notes:
This Pizza heats up well, and travels well for a work lunch. You can pick this pizza up and hold it in your hands, eat it like a regular pizza. It's also very filling.

Hey Raven! Thanks for spreading the word about NancyElle's Low Carb Pizza Crust! Glad you are enjoying it. Original recipes, along with Cheesy Buns can be found on my blog! Cheers!
Actually-- I find that it's been evry helpful, for a lot of my diabetic friends, relatives. I've been tweaking the recipe, (I think I told you about that) by adding Parmesan cheese and different herbs to the crust. Seem to give the crust a "breadier" texture/mouth feel. Oh, and here's another tweak-- if you use a layer of cheese first, then add toppings-- and then add more cheese, everything seems to stick together a bit better.
I'm looking back at this and seeing that Nancy was... well, NOT the originator of this recipe--and the version I posted was my own, tweaked for my tastes. Wacky.
Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.
