I make a pepperoni pizza almost weekly for my son. It’s his favorite food on earth right now. And every time I make one I think about how good it looks but I never partake. Then recently I made a low carb breakfast pizza and a lightbulb went off.
Now I can have my own low carb pepperoni pizza frittata to eat along with Max and his traditional pizza. The best thing is that it’s so easy to make that it’s no big deal to make both for dinner. And there’s only 3.0g of net carbs per slice. Yay!
This is the same recipe as my breakfast pizza except the toppings are different. That’s what I like about using a frittata as a low carb pizza base, you can use whatever toppings you want. You essentially make the base with eggs and cream and bake it until it’s nice and fluffy as shown below. It has a chewy dense taste to mimic bread!
So you start by making your frittata base. Just whisk together eggs and cream together and pour into an oven proof skillet. I like a cast iron skillet for dishes like this. Once it starts to set up, set it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and then add your toppings which in this case is sauce, pepperoni and both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Place it under the broiler until the cheese is melted and brown.
Not too brown like mine came out. I almost didn’t post this because of the darkness of the cheese, but I really liked it and I thought what the heck. So the moral of the story is to watch your broiler to make sure the cheese doesn’t burn.
And there you have your low carb pepperoni pizza. Now if I can get Max to eat this I will have truly hit a home run. I’ll keep you posted on that as I plan to be making this a lot for me.

In a large bowl, whisk your eggs, cream, salt and pepper.
In a cast iron skillet or oven proof skillet add your egg mixture and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes or until the sides firm up.
Take out of the oven and top with pizza sauce, cheeses and pepperoni.
Place under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and brown.
Looks great. We love pizzas but have stopped having them because of content. This is a no brainer for us too try. Thanks so much.
You are very welcome. I hope you give it a try and like it!
Hi Alexandra, I used a 12 inch cast iron skillet. You can adjust the recipe if you don’t have the same size.
I’m all for Pizza for breakfast! I’m going to have to try this out.
I love making frittatas, but would never have thought to make a pizza version, what a great idea, it sounds delicious!
