Step 6: Add Cheese (The Best Part)
Generously cover everything with:
- Mozzarella cheese
- A sprinkle of parmesan on top
Don’t be shy—the cheese creates the gooey, golden “pizza crust effect” once baked.
Step 7: Add Pepperoni or Toppings on Top
Place pepperoni slices or any extra toppings on the very top layer.
They’ll crisp slightly in the oven, giving that classic pizza texture.
Step 8: Bake Until Bubbling
Place the bowl in the oven and bake for 12–18 minutes, or until:
- The cheese is fully melted
- The edges are bubbling
- The top is slightly golden
For a crispier top, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes (watch carefully).
Step 9: Let It Cool Slightly
Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
This helps everything settle and prevents burning your mouth on molten cheese.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Eat it straight from the bowl while it’s warm and cheesy.
You can also pair it with:
- A side salad
- Garlic roasted vegetables
- Or low-carb breadsticks
