Keto Breakfast Pizza with Fathead Dough
This yummy homemade keto breakfast pizza is made with the popular fathead dough to keep it gluten-free and keto-friendly! It’s a family favorite!
Keto Breakfast Pizza is a fun and enjoyable breakfast tradition for Christmas morning at my house. Before adopting the keto life, we made breakfast pizza with crescent rolls for the crust.
Imagine my excitement when I realized that fathead dough is an excellent substitute for crescent rolls! In fact, finding new and exciting ways to use fathead dough has become a passion of mine!

How to Make Keto Breakfast Pizza with Fathead Dough
To make fathead dough, you have two options. Either melt the dough ingredients in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove. For this recipe, I used the stovetop but will give the alternative directions as well.
Start by preheating the oven to 420 degrees F.

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt together the almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese, stirring frequently. The alternative is to heat in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between.
Once the dough is melted, begin to stir in 1 egg and salt. Then, dump it onto parchment paper and knead the dough until it’s well combined. It will be very sticky, but rinsing your hand with warm water will help.
Roll the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper, forming a large circle. I like to roll up the edges to form a border. Poke holes in the crust using a fork to keep it from puffing up in the oven.
Bake the pizza dough at 420 degrees F for 7-10 minutes or until the dough begins to brown. Remove the pizza crust from the oven and set aside while you prepare the pizza toppings.
Lower oven heat to 350 degrees F. In a skillet on the stove, brown the breakfast sausage and drain the grease once it’s done.
Spread the breakfast sausage evenly across the pizza crust.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream and pour over the ground sausage. And of course, add any additional topping you’d like!
Finally, sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of the pizza.
Bake the breakfast pizza for an additional 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until the cheese is melted.
You may need to cover the edges of the crust with foil to keep them from becoming too brown. I recommend you start checking the pizza around the 10-minute mark to make sure the crust is not burning on the edges.
Allow to cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!

I’ve seen a lot of fathead dough recipes but this one caught my eye as a great change from the usual bacon and eggs breakfast. I was a bit confused by the ingredient list of “2 tbsps cup heavy cream”.
I’m wondering a little or a lot, I’m probably going to try it with 2 cups and see how it turns out..
It’s just 2 tbsp of heavy cream to whisk together with the eggs. 2 cups would be way too much.
