This is a quick, low carb solution to the desire for pizza. It can be a great little breakfast pizza with an egg on top or leave off the egg, add more toppings and make it a lunch pizza. It uses a low carb tortilla for the base. If you can’t find them at your supermarket, you can order them from Netrition.com or you can make your own.

2 low carb Tortillas
1 Italian Sausage
4 tablespoons Pasta Sauce (look for low carbs – mine is 5 nc for 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon Onion, chopped
2 tablespoons Tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons Bell Pepper, diced
1/4 cup Mozarella Cheese
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese, shredded
2 eggs (optional)
1/2 teaspoon crushed Red Peppers (optional)

Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees (F.)

Spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray or butter. Put on a baking pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the tortilla is lightly browned.

Meanwhile, remove the sausage from the casing and brown in a skillet, breaking it into small pieces. When the tortillas are done, spread 2 tablespoons of pasta sauce on each tortilla. Add 1/2 of the sausage, spread evenly on top of the sauce. Mix the onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and crushed red peppers, if you are using it, together and distribute 1/2 of the mixture onto each tortilla. Tope with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

Bake for about 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is just toasted.

While the pizza is baking, prepare the eggs. I used fried eggs, but you can make them how ever you prefer or leave them off.

Top each pizza with an egg, season and serve.
