Heat another 30 seconds if needed until completely melted.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
Add:

Mix until a smooth dough forms.
If sticky, lightly oil your hands.
Step 4: Shape the Crust

Roll into a 12-inch circle or rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
Poke small holes with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Step 5: Bake the Crust
Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 6: Cook the Eggs
Whisk together:
- Eggs
- Heavy cream
- Salt
- Pepper
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook the eggs slowly, stirring gently until just set.

Top with fresh parsley, sliced avocado, or hot sauce if desired.
Slice and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Keto Breakfast Pizza
Use Full-Fat Cheese
Full-fat mozzarella melts beautifully and gives the crust the best texture.

Slightly undercooked scrambled eggs stay soft after baking.
Bake the Crust First
Pre-baking ensures a crisp base that won’t become soggy.
Let the Pizza Rest
Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.

Overloading the Pizza
Too many toppings can make the crust soggy.
Cooking Eggs Too Long
They’ll become dry after the second bake.
