Spinach pizza crust – low carb 3 ingredients recipe
You know I am French right? And French love goat cheese and walnuts. It is a combo that French recipe use a lot. That is why I choose to top my pizza with grilled chicken breast, feta goat cheese, walnuts and extra pumpkin seeds. This flavor reminds my childhood in France. But well, any toppings will do ! Just ue what you have got in your fridge as soon as it i low carb it will make a delicious low carb dinner.
This crust is super easy to make. I made it many times in my blender or food processor. Both works very well. I recommend to use pre wash baby spinach or if you are going to wash your spinach leaves make sure you drain them well. I love to pat dry mine between pieces of absorbent paper. You don’t want to add water into the recipe or the mixture will be too runny and it won’t form a crispy pizza crust when baked. At first sight it looks like a baked omelette but it really makes a great pizza. Plus it contains only 2 eggs and lots of spinach which makes this recipe good for your kids too. An easy way to boost their veggie and protein intake.
This is how it looks like after baking.
I garnished the pizza with home made tomato sauce, grilled chicken breast cooked on the BBQ. The BBQ is never too far away from the kitchen when you live in New Zealand! And I love the taste of BBQ grilled chicken. If you are looking for other low carb spinach recipes you will love my blog! I am such a spinach lover. Another favorite recipe at home are my spinach tacos shells.
Oh and yes Emma -my little girl very enjoyed this pizza. I found this recipe easy to eat by kids as the crust stay light and soft. I was very happy to look at her eating the spinach hidden in the crust!

I really LOVED this recipe. I’m so excited to be able to join the family on Pizza Fridays again. I used mozzarella instead of edam because that is what I had on hand. I’m considering trying this recipe with arugula. I think my favorite thing about this recipe is that it is sooooooo much easier than the cauliflower crusts recipes I’ve been trying.

I hope you find other low carb recipe you love on the blog, I have got plenty of dessert too 🙂 see you around. Carine.
Hi, I’m new to this low-carb thing, but doing my honest best to stay in phase 1 of Atkins (18 – 22 carbs/day max.). Maybe I missed something, but I don’t see serving size with carbs/serving? Thanks

HI,
I want to try this recipe as I am hearing all kinds of nightmares about the cauliflower crusts turning out soggy or falling apart. I hate the taste of eggs. I know you need some kind of binder and eggs are high in protein as well so they are the obvious choice. My question is, can you taste the egg, or mostly the spinach and toppings? Thanks so much.
Hi Olivia ! there is only 2 eggs in this recipe (for 2 round pizza so 1/4 egg per slice, not much) so it does not taste so much ‘eggy’ to me. I would use more spices and a strong flavor cheese to balance the light egg taste if you are not a fan of eggs. I would recommend grated Parmesan or old cheddar. Don’t skip the garlic powder and maybe enhance with 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, and more oregano. With all those little twist you are guarentee that this won’t taste like eggs 🙂 Enjoy the recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
Oh my goodness this is amazing! I can’t get myself to like fathead pizza dough no matter what recipe I try. This is SO GOOD! I’ll never mess with fathead dough again. I did a chicken and bacon blue cheese pizza, the crust not only has great texture but tastes so good! I can’t wait to try more pizza flavors and toppings. Thank you so much for this!! Also, I divided all ingredients in half and made one personal 10 inch pizza. Perfect!
I am so happy you love this pizza crust! Thanks for sharing your lovely comment ! Enjoy the keto recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
What is the weight of 1 cup of spinache? Ik like to make the pizza but I am not used to cups.
I am sorry, I don’t measure my ingredients in grams only in cups so I can’t tell. Enjoy the blog! Carine.
This is absolutely Amazing!!!! I was looking for a low carb alternative for my dough and I saw in the shop the other day a spinach base pizza and thought ‘I must be able to??”
I do weight-watchers so subbed then normal cheese for protein cheese, with it it was a very low point recipe! It was so so good! I share it with my groups facebook support group along with a link to your page! Thank you for the inspiration!
I’ll be popping it on my blog as well along with a link to you too.
Thanks ! I am so glad you like the recipe. Thanks for sharing your lovely feedback. What’s your blog? I would love to read it too! Have a great time on my blog. XOXO Carine.
How long do the bases last? Can you refrigerate or freeze the bases?
The base will get softer if you store this in the fridge, but it can be rewarmed really well in hot oven. Rewarm until crispy then add your favorite toppings. I won’t freeze it though. Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine.
