Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / November 2004Low carb pizza
We ate pizza today and I ate the meat balls and cheese from the pizza. It made me think about cooking a low carb "pizza", without the crust altogether. My idea is to take cheese, peppers, pieces of meat etc, and heat them up properly on a pan. Has anyone tried it?

Not at all. Deep dish pizza (tastes great) BASE 4 oz softened cream cheese 4 eggs 1/3 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated) 1 tbs chives 1/2 tsp Italian or pizza seasoning (I also add salt but that's a personal thing) Beat together cream cheese and eggs till smooth Add cream, parmesean cheese and spices Spray 13x9 glass baking dish with oil Put 2 cups of shredded cheese in dish and pour egg mixt. over Bake at 375 for 30 minutes OR until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and, while still warm, top with pizza toppings as you would normally do with a regular pizza. I put a low-carb tomato paste, parmesan, olives, mushrooms, anchovies, and lots of mozzarella but it's really personal taste. Put back into the oven and cook until the cheese is bubbling. Eat straight away or allow to cool and cut into portions. I take mine to work and heat up in the microwave forabout 45 seconds. Great lunch, very filling, and very low carb. HINT: I would make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. So take ingredients out of the fridge say 60 minutes before you start. It makes them easier to work with. -- >Deep dish pizza >(tastes great) [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >Bake at 375 for 30 minutes OR until golden brown and firm to the >touch. What kind of shredded cheese goes in the dish? You've got parmesan listed in the mixture, and mozzarella (later) with the other toppings, but you don't specify the variety used in the two cups of cheese that helps form the base.... .:.

Nonsense It works fine. Cici's pizza will do it for you right there in the restaurant.

Ok, what I've had some success with is this: spray a toaster oven tray with no-stick spray sprinkle shredded mozerella cheese on the tray, spread it out into a rough circle toast once, add pepperoni slices and a little more cheese on top, toast again I don't see why you couldn't add peppers too, or even some pizza sauce. In my toaster oven, the method above makes a "pizza" that is crispy on the edges but still kind of gooey in the middle. Since different toaster ovens work differently, it may take some experimenting. I've tried heating it until it was all brown, for example, but the edges got black before the center got brown. Brown cheese = pretty good. Black cheese = not so good. Oh, something else I've done when I've had pizza cravings is make a veggie stir-fry, but add mozerella, pepperoni, and low-carb tomato sauce. It's just one of the many strange ways I prepare the "gourmet" oriental stir-fry I get from Sam's club, after I throw out the sugar-laden sauce packets that come with it.

Signature223/173.0/180 You're welcome. I just realized the first thingy would probably work even better in a real oven. It's just that since mine doesn't work right, I never use it and I sort of forgot about ovens. > Thanks Luna, all good ideas! > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > I get from Sam's club, after I throw out the sugar-laden sauce packets that > > come with it.

It works great in the *real* oven and is great under the broiler. You just have to watch it carefully. Have either of you tried a Meatzza Pizza? There are lots of recipes for it on the internet.

Have you tried meatza? Here's the first one from google: http://www.diet.recipes-to-go.com/Meatza.htm - Dana Carpender has a simpler one. Not bad - all the pizza eaters in the family enjoy it, though it hasn't got the crunch from the base that I like. Nicky.

Many have from what I have read here and in other lowcarb forums in past years Some of the pizza places are making a "low carb" pizza by using wheat as the crust.. Not too bad either.. 6'1"/236/183/183 Signature> We ate pizza today and I ate the meat balls and cheese from the > pizza.

Or he could use a cooked hamburger patty as the base. Sometimes we make hamburger glop with a pizza theme. Season the meat with garlic, oregeno, etc. add either fresh or sun dried tomatoes and chunks of peperoni and melt mozzeralla cheese over the top. Serve with some grated or shredded parmesan cheese with a green salad on the side & you get the full pizza experience:)Robyn > Sometimes we make hamburger glop with a pizza theme. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Serve with some grated or shredded parmesan cheese with a green salad on the > side & you get the full pizza experience:)Robyn Thanks, I may give something like that a try today. Signature223/173.0/180 >Sometimes we make hamburger glop with a pizza theme. There is a chain all-you-can-eat pizza shop called Cici's that will prepare "toppings only in a pan". It's not *super*-low-carb, but acceptable for an occasional treat. Main problem I've found is with the high sodium content. --- Howard Lee Harkness Healthcare for the uninsurable: http://AffHC.HLHins.com Best Dental plan on the market: http://Dental.HLHins.com Insurance for ex-pats or H1-Bs: http://H1b.HLHins.com General insurance information: http://www.HLHins.com |
