How to Make Keto Breakfast Pizza

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a cast iron skillet
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella for the crust
• Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then heat an additional 20 seconds until thoroughly melted and smooth
• Mix the beaten eggs and almond flour into the cheese mixture until a dough forms
• Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the greased skillet, creating a pizza base
• Poke a few holes in the dough to prevent large air bubbles during baking
• Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until it’s lightly golden and firm
• Pour the beaten topping eggs evenly over the warm crust
• Add cooked bacon, diced sausage, and ham evenly over the pizza
• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar over the top
• Return the skillet to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until set and golden
• Cut into 8 slices; one serving equals 2 slices
