Carnivore Pizza

🍕 Carnivore Pizza (Chicken Crust)

Description

Carnivore Pizza is a high-protein, zero-plant alternative to traditional pizza made entirely from animal-based ingredients. Instead of flour, the crust is formed from canned chicken, eggs, and cheddar cheese, then baked until firm and golden. The result is a savory, meaty base that holds toppings beautifully while staying low-carb, gluten-free, and carnivore-compliant.

This pizza is satisfying, filling, and perfect for anyone following carnivore, keto-carnivore, or animal-based diets.


🥩 Ingredients

Chicken Crust

  • 2 cans chicken breast, drained very well

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Toppings (Optional, Carnivore)

  • Additional cheddar cheese or mozzarella

  • Pepperoni

  • Cooked bacon

  • Ground beef or sausage (fully cooked)

  • Butter or beef tallow (for greasing)


🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken

Drain the canned chicken extremely well. Press out excess moisture using paper towels — this is key for a firm crust.

2️⃣ Make the Crust Mixture

In a bowl, combine:

  • Drained chicken

  • Eggs

  • ½ cup cheddar cheese

Mix thoroughly until evenly combined. You can lightly shred the chicken further with a fork for better texture.

3️⃣ Form the Crust

Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and lightly grease. Press the mixture into a thin, even round (about ¼ inch thick).

4️⃣ Bake the Crust

Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until:

  • Firm

  • Golden brown

  • Edges slightly crispy

Optional: flip the crust and bake an additional 5–7 minutes for extra firmness.

5️⃣ Add Toppings

Remove from oven, add cheese and carnivore toppings of choice.

6️⃣ Final Bake

Return to oven for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

7️⃣ Rest & Slice

Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
