I just found this recipe and although I have not cooked it yet(I will be later this evening...) I had to share it. Enjoy!

Made it...its a keeper! I topped mine with mushrooms diced tomatoes(sans pizza sauce) red onion black olives and turkey sausage. Delicious!

sounds good. my wife and i are going to try to make it tomorrow or monday. will let you know my thoughts.

Does it actually hold together like a pizza?

[fitzy21]

that sounds good even if it doesn't hold together like a pizza

[mikeyc1972]

It holds together due to the cheese and eggs baking and setting first. Keep in mind it is much like a quiche so the smaller the pan(the thicker the batter when poured) the more the crust would be quiche like...the larger the pan(the thinnner the batter when poured)the more it is indeed pizza crust like. My wife and I relly like a thin crispy crust, so I may experiment with pouring even less batter next time...I was very good, held together and most importantly kept me from calling papa johns last night

I don't have any heavy cream could I use whole milk instead? I don't think 1/3 cup would have many carbs in it.

[Aoife]

Milk may not hold together as well as cream. *shrug*

[Mark57]

Skip the cream and call it a frittata.

Maybe it Sunday morning myself (OK, my wife did), went with 1 less cup of cheese and added 1/3 cup of flaxseed meal, made it hold to perfectly

This one's a winner! loved it!

I've made this twice so far and it's really good. My recommendation is to use only half the crust ingredients and it turns into more of a thin crispy pizza( when the crust is thicker its kinda eggy). I made mine with trader joes pepperoni and portabello mushrooms. I tried to add a pic of my pizza on this post but i can't figure out how to do so.

I concur with less "crust". I made it, but oven was too high and I got the crust overcooked. Added way to many toppings, but it still was delicious. I definitely will do this again. My goal is to have a 'thin' pizza where I can eat several pieces. One filled me up yesterday.

Well whoever made this didn't have an Italian Grandmother. Mine rolled in her grave when I called it pizza, but it was good for what it is, and I will have it again...

I also ate it for breakfast...It held together much better when it was cool, and I think tasted a little better too.

Maybe a new breakfast food.

[RobLL]

I'm planning on making some, maybe without tomatoes, freezing them and seeing how they work as breakfast bars.

[tossedup]

I made the pizza for lunch today and it turned out great. I only used three eggs so it wouldn't be to eggy tasting. I am going to let it cool a good bit longer next time before I dig in so the crust will settle in a little more. Great recipe!!

[mikeyc1972]

the last time i made it i only used 1 egg and it made a great thin crust pizza...I will be making this sunday to avoid temptation.

[mikeyc1972]

OK I tried a new crust for my TNT approved pizza, and I have to say I actually prefer this one. I am actually enjoying a slice right now while I watch UFC 81. You all try this one and tell me what you think...

This reminds me of the "taco pizza" I make:

Mix together 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 1 packet of taco seasoning. Pat out in a round baking dish like a pizza. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with cheese of choice (I use a monterey jack blend) and put back in oven til melted.

Cut a slice of "pizza" and top it with shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and you are good to go!

[mikeyc1972]

MissJane that sounds awesome! I cant wait to try it next time!

[missjane]

I love it! And, the best part is that the leftovers are great, too!

I usually substitute plain yogurt for heavy cream.

Definitely a keeper. Was kinda procy to get all the ingredients but made a LOT.
