- 4 4 eggeggs
- 1½ cups (6 oz.) 350 ml (170 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp 3 tbsp unsweetened tomato sauce
- 1 tsp 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1¼ cups (6 oz.) 300 ml (170 g) shredded provolone cheese

- olives (optional)
- 2 oz. (1 cup) 55 g (230 ml) leafy greens

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Start by making the crust. Crack eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add shredded cheese. Give it a good stir to combine.

- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (225°C).
- Spread tomato sauce on the crust and sprinkle oregano on top. Top with cheese and place the pepperoni and olives on top.
- Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the pizza has turned a golden brown color.
- Serve with a fresh salad on the side.

Step 3 indicates you can make 2 small pizzas or 1 large one. Regardless, yes, this recipe makes two servings.
Yes, this should still be more liquid. There is no need to melt the cheese; this is a totally different recipe.
Eggs alone are not likely to make a good pizza crust, but we have not tested it without the cheese.
Are used Italian four cheese blend sparingly but I don’t know how that affects the nutrients.
The topping section calls for 5oz shredded cheese. We leave the specific type purposefully vague so people can choose their favorite shredded cheese that goes with the toppings they choose.
really confused here...

One more question. In the nutrition facts of the recipe do you count the "for serving" part too already?
You would need to look each ingredient up in an app or the USDA database to calculate the new nutrition information. Yes, the nutrition information includes the "for serving" ingredients as well.
Tomato sauce is closer to ketchup but without the added spices or sweeteners. It's thinner than a tomato paste.
It was rather thin and soft, any idea what I could have done wrong or how I could improve this?
I don't think I made the pizza too big, and the only deviation I can think off in the ingredients is that I had a bit more mozarella than needed.
Use the recommended amount of cheese and perhaps try baking a few minutes longer.
