Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • extra bowl for egg whites (save these for other recipes)
  • measuring spoons
  • Whisk
  • Rotary Pizza Cutter

Ingredients

  • 6 egg yolks Separate Eggs - Save egg whites for another recipe.
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter Melted and then cooled slighly.
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt Redmond Garlic Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Basil dried
  • 1 Teaspoon Oregano dried
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesean shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F or 325°F if using convection oven.
  • Line a 9x13 Baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Separate egg yolks and whites.
  • Place yolks into mixing bowl.
  • (Keep egg whites and refrigerate to be used in other recipes)
  • Melt butter and then allow it to sit and cool slightly before adding to egg yolks to prevent cooking the eggs. I will usually melt my butter before I begin cooking. This should allow enough time for it to cool to the proper temperature.
  • Next, add butter, baking powder, salt, basil, oregano and grated parmesean to egg yolks and whisk thoroughly.
  • Pour mixture into parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Spread egg mixture over the entire surface area.
  • Place onto center rack in pre-heated oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until knife comes out clean in the center.
  • The crust will be slightly browned on top.
  • Remove baking pan from oven and allow the pizza crust to cool. Approximately 3-5 minutes.
  • Add your choice of toppings and place back into oven for 5-6 minutes or until heated completly through.

Notes

I like to use this as a base for my keto pizzas.  I can easily adjust my fat requirements up or down to meet my personal needs with the toppings that I choose to add.  
Remember to watch for any added sugars in the sauces and toppings that you choose - especially processed meats.  
For those looking for a carnivore option.  Leave out the herbs and just make with the egg yolks, butter and baking powder.
