All I can say is that it took a whole lot of control not to eat the whole pie! I dont like tomatoes so I added green peppers, red onions, and broccoli! Thanks for another great recipe Halle!!

Uh, could I please place a delivery order Halle?...this recipe looks amazing. Too bad the above pizza pic wasn't a scratch 'n sniff option. Yum. I'll let ya know what my fam thinks of it. Great idea, it would make a great breakfast pizza too. :)

Jan also you could do this (this is what I do as a protein type). I cut the pie into 4 servings and then the carb count is 16 grams and I count that slice as my carb and then add my protein (4-5 oz of chicken) to complete the meal. Yesterday I had my eggs for breakfast and then a piece of this pizza and that was my complete breakfast

Yes Jan, I would add some pesto chicken to it. It is a sturdy crust, so it could handle the weight of the chicken just fine and still be a piece of pizza.

Can't wait to try this, Halle! What would you suggest to get this more "in line" for a protein type? Just add meat to the topping instead of the tomatoes?
