Elon is making me fall in love with him. LOW. CARB. PIZZA. This diabetic is HAPPY.
“Parmesan Egg Crust Vodka Sauce Pizza”
I know. “What do you mean Parmesan Egg Crust?”
Here’s the situation. As I’ve said before—I’m low carbing. But who doesn’t love pizza? I saw a recipe recently which was a breakfast pizza and in “my” mind that obviously meant simply a pizza on egg instead of dough. I was incorrect. Immediately I tried to figure out is this a viable method for pizza crust. I mean you can make a crust-less quiche. You can make egg casserole. There has to be a method to make egg crust!
And there was.
After using my Google University skills I found a recipe for egg crust pizza that apparently gave me the secret ingredient to making this fly. Cream cheese. blending cream cheese into eggs gives it a damn decent texture. I tried it out yesterday and it WORKED. I was AMAZED. But as soon as I made it I realized the flaws. The issues with it. It wasn’t crust-like enough. Yes it delivered the cheese and toppings in a foldy manner but it needed more. So today i decided to thin out the egg in the recipe (it called for 4 eggs and 4 ounces of cream cheese) I went three eggs and 5 ounces.
Then I had another brain storm.
A long time ago i remember seeing a recipe for Parmesan crisps. Basically you simply fried shredded Parmesan. I remembered it being fairly crispy and then the thought processed continued. The recipe for Egg pizza crust was to put cheese on the baking pan and dump your egg mix on top of it.
Why not grill the cheese a little bit before you do that?
In essence making a big parmesan crisp (or the start of one—let it finish in the oven) but with egg on top making it a REAL crust. Let it cook a little longer than suggested (they said 22 minutes. I said “When it feels right”) and then keep it low carb by going cream sauce instead of tomato.
I’ll post a much more in depth recipe later. I was just so damn proud it worked i needed to post immediately. And while testing all of this I got to fry cheese and deep it in a cream sauce.
I’m a happy man.
