My Quorn "Meatza"

I'm sure that almost everyone would be aware of what a meatza is. My meat eating keto housemate loves them. He would often tell me about how great it is and how I should just have some.

Normally I am not a fan of fake meat products as I dont like the taste, texture etc. Anywho, I decided to try the Quorn stuff a while ago before I had started keto and found it to be alright. So with that in mind I decided to create my very own faux meatza.

In case anyone is unclear on the topic of meatza its a pizza made from meat. So mince meat base instead of pizza dough etc...

Ingredients
"Pizza Base"
1 packet Quorn mince defrosted
1/4-1/3 C Egg whites (a whole egg is fine too instead) 

Toppings
Tomato sauce (I use homemade but any low carb jar sauce is fine)
75g (1/4 packet) Quorn chicken pieces
100g cheese (I used a mixture of tasty and mozzarella)
2 Mushrooms
4 Olives
30g Capsicum
a couple of thinly slices pieces of onion
bocconcini cherries sliced.

Pre-heat oven to around 180C

Combine the mince and egg whites/egg in a bowl and mix until combined.




Pour into a baking dish and flatten so that it is evenly spread in the dish.




Spread tomato sauce over the base and sprinkle about half of the cheese on top.



Add any toppings of choice. I have used a square dish which will make four portions so when adding the ingredients I try to add them evenly to each quarter so that I know when I track it in my daily allowance its as close to accurate as possible.

Once toppings are added sprinkle over the rest of the cheese.




Place in the oven  for around 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are cooked through.




With the leftovers I put them in portion sized air tight containers and keep them in the fridge for up to a couple of days.

For a spicier option I normally add in a little bit of hot salsa to the base and some jalapenos to the topping.
