An easy Skillet Breakfast recipe, this Meat Lover’s Keto Breakfast Pizza is a simple recipe for a low-carb breakfast the whole family will love! It’s a fun breakfast take on the viral FATHEAD PIZZA.

Keto Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Breakfast and brunch are veritable mine fields for those trying to avoid carbs.

Even healthy options are often carb-loaded, and nearly everything that is grab-and-go is pretty carb heavy. Not to mention special brunch options – why do we associate indulgence with carb loading?

This Low-Carb Breakfast Pizza is a simple recipe that is super versatile. Today, we’re sharing our family’s favorite: Meat Lover’s topped with eggs. But you can also make this recipe with plain cheese, shredded chicken, pulled pork… the sky is the limit! Just skip the sauce and load on the protein, and you’re good to go!

What is Fathead Pizza? Tom Naughton shared the original recipe in 2013 and is named after his documentary (you can watch the trailer and the full movie here). It’s a grain-free, low-carb pizza crust alternative.

Can you freeze fathead pizza? Yes! The method I recommend is to bake the crust (without toppings) and then it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days (some people have told me it can last up to 10 but we never last that long), or wrapped in the freezer for up to 2 months. 

How many carbs is fathead pizza? If you cut this pizza into 8 slices, each slice has 4g net carbs. The dough itself is less than 1g net carbs.

Best way to reheat fathead pizza? Honestly? The microwave. You can reheat in the oven, but that can cause the dough to become overcooked by the time it is cooked through. Just zap it in the microwave (based on your microwave’s heat settings) and enjoy.

There are a couple different ways to make the crust, but I take the simple way out. I also like to prepare the crust the day before and refrigerate until about 20 minutes before we want to eat.

I warm up the oven, pull the crust out of the fridge, and just top as desired! It’s also a great way to use up (planned) leftovers – this pizza features pre-cooked sausage from the night before.

You can also make miniature versions using ramekins and let each family member choose their own preferred toppings. And it doesn’t just have to be for breakfast – this low-carb pizza crust is great for lunch or supper, and even reheats well… assuming your family doesn’t eat it all in one sitting!
