Low Carb Parmesan Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

1 cup flax meal (ground flax seeds)
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs

Mix the flax meal and Parmesan (or Romano) cheese in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and stir until a dough is formed. It will be sticky, let it sit for about 5 minutes or so until it’s easier to work with.

Wet your hands with water to help keep the dough from sticking to them and press onto greased cookie sheet about 1/3 inch thick in a circle. You should get about a 10 inch crust out of it – if it’s a lot smaller than that you are making it too thick. Bake in a preheated 350 degree (F) oven for 8 minutes. Remove. Add toppings. Bake for another 15 minutes at 350. Remove. Cool. Eat. Swoon.
