carnivore cheesy chicken crust pizza with ricotta
ingredients:
Crust:
1 lb ground chicken (raw)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Toppings:
15 oz ricotta cheese
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Topping ideas: pepperoni, bacon, sausage, ground beef, ham, crab meat, shrimp, prosciutto
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 16-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crust. Mix them thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
Place the meat mixture onto the pizza pan and gently press it down to flatten and shape it into a round pizza crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until it starts to brown on top.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the crust. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta.
Now, it's time to add your favorite carnivorous toppings. Let your imagination run wild with options like pepperoni, bacon, sausage, ground beef, ham, crab meat, shrimp, or prosciutto. Feel free to add Italian seasonings and Parmesan cheese for an extra kick.
Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes at 425°F (220°C), until the cheese is melted and the crust turns slightly brown around the outer edges, creating a crispy texture.
Once baked to perfection, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting. This will allow the flavors to meld and make it easier to handle.
