Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Form the bases:

- For egg & cheese base: Mix the egg and cheese together, spoon small mounds onto the parchment, and spread slightly.
- Bake the base for 5–6 minutes, until edges start to brown and crisp.
- Add toppings:
- Spread a thin layer of sugar-free pizza sauce.
- Add cheese and your chosen toppings.
- Return to oven for another 4–5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips
- Use parchment, not foil — the cheese sticks otherwise.
- Try parmesan crisps as a base for an extra crunch.
