Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 low-carb tortillas
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
Filling
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Topping
- 1/2 cup keto-friendly marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- Sliced black olives (to taste)
- Diced green bell peppers (to taste)
- Sliced mushrooms (to taste)
- Crushed garlic (to taste)
- Red pepper flakes (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pizza.
- Crisp the tortillas: Place the low-carb tortillas on a baking sheet and broil them for about 1 minute until they are slightly crispy, which helps create a sturdier crust.
- Prepare the base layer: Spread cream cheese evenly over one tortilla, then sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top to create a creamy, cheesy base.
- Add the sausage: Sprinkle the cooked, crumbled sausage evenly over the cheese layer for a savory filling.
- Assemble the stuffed crust: Cover the sausage layer with the second tortilla, forming a sandwich to lock in the filling.
- Add sauce and toppings: Spread the keto-friendly marinara sauce evenly over the top tortilla, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese. Arrange pepperoni slices on top, and optionally add sliced black olives, diced green bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, crushed garlic, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Bake the pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, then cut it into 4 pieces and serve warm.
Notes
- Using low-carb tortillas helps keep the carb count low while providing a crispy base.
- You can customize the vegetables and spices based on your preferences.
- Be careful not to overbroil the tortillas initially or they may become too brittle.
- Allowing the pizza to cool slightly before cutting helps keep the filling intact.
- This recipe is ideal for a quick keto-friendly meal option.
