Carnivore pizza
A fluffy, grain-free crust piled high with meaty goodness – perfect for low-carb cravings!
This high-protein pizza skips the carbs and swaps traditional dough for a cloud bread crust made from eggs and cheese. It's light yet satisfying, with all the indulgence of a classic pizza thanks to rich toppings like crispy bacon, pepperoni, and gooey melted cheese.
Cloud Bread Crust
Ingredients:
4 large eggs, separated
½ cup full-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
2 Tbsp cream cheese, softened
½ tsp cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
Method:
Make the Cloud Bread Base
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate eggs into two bowls.
- Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then stir in the egg yolks, softened cream cheese, and a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts, taking care not to deflate the volume.
Bake the Crust
- Spread the mixture into a ½-inch thick round on the prepared tray, shaping it like a pizza crust.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Pizza Toppings
Ingredients:
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup cooked ground beef
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped (about ⅓ cup)
¼ cup Pepperoni/Salami slices
¼ cup cooked ham, diced
2 Tbsp beef tallow or bacon grease, for brushing
Method:
Add the Toppings
- Lightly brush the crust with tallow or bacon grease for added flavour and moisture.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan, then evenly distribute the ground beef, bacon, pepperoni, and ham.
Bake Again
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling with golden edges.
- Serve and Enjoy. Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy every carnivore-approved bite!
Tip: Feel free to switch up the toppings — try it with leftover pulled pork or shredded chicken. And if you’re a flexible carnivore or following keto, this rich tomato-based sauce makes a delicious base.
