Egg Crust Pizza

South Beach day five and I haven't jumped ship...yet!  I've played by all the rules not eating sweets of any kind, sugar, soda, alcohol, any carbs like pasta, bread, or couscous, and no fruit.

I've been drinking a ton of water close to 64 ounces or more a day.

All I crave is PIZZA!!!  I want pizza all day everyday and so does my fiance.  I found a fix too!  It's an Egg Crust Pizza you make on the stove top and then pop in the broiler to finish it off.  It's super tasty, and it's South Beach Phase One friendly!

It only takes a few minutes, and this recipe is a cinch to make!  You can trick your mind into thinking you're eating pizza!  That's the best part!

Saute the mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, low fat sausage in an oven proof skillet with a little olive oil.

Remove them from the pan, then add your beaten eggs.  Let them set up for about 2 minutes.  Then add your veggies and sausage back on top of the eggs.  Layer them with half the mixture, then add low fat cheese, then the rest of the mixture, and add more cheese.  Cover and let the eggs continue to cook for another 3 - 4 minutes.   Then pop in the broiler to brown the cheese for about 2 minutes.

The pizza will slide right out of the pan!  Cut with a pizza roller, and you've got yourself a tasty breakfast OR dinner pizza meal!

Egg Crust Pizza 

 

4 eggs

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. 21 seasoning salute (I get this at Trader Joes.  Use your favorite seasoning.)

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1/4 cup chopped bell peppers

1/2 cup of chopped onions

1 low fat chicken sausage sliced (or whatever low fat protein you prefer OR make it vegetarian)

1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp. olive oil

 

1. Preheat broiler to high.

2.  Saute the mushroom, bell peppers, onions, and sausage in a non-stick oven proof skillet in half of the olive oil for about 6 - 7 minutes.  Once the mushrooms are browned, remove all ingredients from pan and set aside.

3. In same pan add your slightly beaten eggs and let cook and set up half way.  It takes about 2 minutes.

4.  Add half of the veggies and sausage mixture on top of the eggs.  Sprinkle on a layer of cheese, then add the rest of the veggie mixture and another layer of cheese.  Cover with a lid and continue to cook another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.

5.  Pop into the broiler for 1 - 2 minutes.  WATCH CLOSELY!  When the cheese begins to brown, it is done.  Remove from oven and slide the entire pizza onto a cutting board.

Serve immediately!
