Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 185 grams (approximately 1 standard can) canned tuna (in water)
- 1 eggs
- 25 grams (about 1/4 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 15 grams (about 2 tablespoons) grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 60 grams (about 1/4 cup) pizza sauce (low-carb, unsweetened)
- 50 grams (about 1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- (optional, to taste) toppings of choice (e.g., sliced bell peppers, olives, pepperoni)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza tray with parchment paper.
Drain the canned tuna completely to remove as much liquid as possible. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to press out the excess moisture if needed.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, egg, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of oregano. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the tuna mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form it into a thin, even circle or rectangle, roughly 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick. Press it firmly to ensure it holds together.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it becomes firm and slightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb pizza sauce evenly over it. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella for topping and your desired toppings over the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oregano on top for added flavor.
Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-carb tuna pizza!
