Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 lb ground pork sausage (or ground beef)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for binding)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
For the Toppings:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon pieces
- 1/4 cup cooked sausage crumbles (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced green onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional, if you follow keto)
- 1/2 avocado (optional, sliced, for topping)
- Hot sauce or salsa (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Carnivore Pizza Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage (or beef), egg, shredded mozzarella (if using), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined. The mixture should be cohesive and slightly sticky.
- Transfer the meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press it into a pizza-like shape, making sure it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and golden brown around the edges. Remove it from the oven and drain any excess grease if needed.
- Add the Toppings:
- Crack the eggs directly on top of the crust (spread them out across the surface) or scramble them beforehand if preferred.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Scatter the cooked bacon pieces, sausage crumbles, green onions, and bell peppers over the pizza.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove the breakfast meatza from the oven. Let it rest for a minute or two before slicing.
- For added flavor, you can top the meatza with avocado slices, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a spoonful of salsa.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
