;D okay it worked out and will be something we eat :) ALOT:
1st off you can use any type of cheese & toppings that your little heart desires... it took me 10 minutes to make this: advice have all of your toppings ready to go before you fry the cheese 8)
for my pizza i used 8 oz of shredded provelone cheese(buy a block and shred it yourself...its much better and it has 0 carbs,for those that may not be aware of it pre-shredded cheese has potato starch in it to keep it from sticking together)
my toppings were pepperoni,mushrooms & green olives:)
and i also sprinkled some garlic & red pepper on it:)
besides the cheese and toppings all you need is a frying pan,pam spray, and 3 Tablespoons of olive oil.
1-spray your frying pan with pam spray & put on stove at medium heat.
2-add the olive oil.
3-put your cheese into the pan,after it melts & starts to bubble,sprinkle on the spices & top with your favorite toppings.
4-when the edges of the cheese turn brown....its done,with a METAL spatula remove from pan,onto plate,its very hot so BEEBS don't burn yourself:) i used a pizza cutter to slice it up:) all i can say is"OMG"
-
DITTO on the OMG! I cannot wait to try this! My mouth is watering and I'm now drooling all over my poor little students!
-
carb count?
-
beebs it depends on what you use for toppings....the cheese itself has zero,pepperoni zero,green olives zero,i used 1 mushroom so i'll say 1-2 carbs for the pizza i made:)
-
You just put cheese in the skillet?
-
yes ;D
-
Very goog gary I have made cheese sticks like this . when it starts bubbling you get your spatula and start rolling it up and it is a cheese stick you can dip in low carb sause or just eat it . But you only need a enough cheese to cover the bottom of the pan . It is crispy and delish . LIke I am sure your pizza was . I wonder if you will be CONSTAPATED ?
-
i'll keep ya posted ::)
-
Umm I just tried this and I had to use a putty knife to get the cheese out of the pan.... ::)
-
Wow, seriously can't wait to try this!
I have learned so much on this forum it's not even FUNNY. Like the pre-shredded and sliced cheese containing potato starch!? I always wondered where that 1g carb was coming from!
Gary--when you buy a big block of cheese and grate it yourself, can you grate a big bunch, put it in a plastic bag, and it will be good for a few days? Or does it get mushy or sticky or something if you don't use it right away?
I'm willing to do my own grating, just trying to minimize the work!! Laziness is my specialty. I can't be alone here ;)
-
beebs..... nevermind:) >>>> ive never shredded the whole block:) i just shred it as i need it:) so i guess i'd say"i'm not sure" ::)
-
Cheese keeps for weeks I just ziploc bag it and date it.
-
Pleasee do LOL
-
I tried a small version of this. I didn't have all the good stuff that Gary had on hand. I fried the cheese, put some seasonings on it, and then added some tiny little pieces of ham. I folded it over like a hard taco when I took it out of the pan. YUMMY!!!
Throwback to the 80s: yummy to the max, like, for real....
-
Gary, how funny that you posted that and man does that look great!
I was just looking at a website yesterday that made crackers like that in the oven out of cut up cheese slices (I know, they have carbs).
Yummo, I'm going to do that this weekend!
-
Hey Jo ;D.... the answer to your question :o nada,no,on the back up:) my deposit was normal per usual ::)
-
This is really cool Katary! I am gonna have to try this one! ;) Well Done!
-
Gary I am so glad for you , I seem to have a little problem when I eat alot of cheese ,if you know what I am saying !
-
Beebers!!! try a non stick pan :) great low carb (http://www.fattoskinny.com/low-carb-diet.htm) pizza!
-
FOLD LIKE A TACO?!?!?! How are you guys doing this? I couldn't even get it out of the pan!
-
non stick pan and spray oil
-
We dont have any non-stick pans...
-
You can get one pretty cheap at Slowmart (walmart).
-
I've tried the cheese as a taco crust. turned out pretty good. Non stick pan is definitly the way to go, with the oil...If anyone needs help while eating a lot of cheese try having about 11 raw almonds ( 1/2 oz) near bedtime. It is great for contipation, tastes good and keeps you from feeling hungry when you go to bed.
-
explain "raw" almonds please
-
I buy a bag of 'Raw' Almonds from Trader Joes. It's just plain almonds... not roasted, salted, dipped in chocolate, etc.,
-
;D just made this for katie & becky:) it was a hit:)
-
OMG Gary you are a genius.
I was not hungry for supper, neither was hubby (he's been on nightshift this week) and was looking for something for "supper" around 7pm
So, I got into the kitchen, grated some old cheddar (didn't have any provolone), added some grated parmesan, sliced up some hot salami and a mushroom and put the skillet on and off I went.
Ok, the salami was a little oily, had to drain it a couple of times, but OMG was this ever good.
When it was browning as per Gary's recipe, I put 2 tbsp of low sugar salsa on it too and it was better than our usual Friday night pizza. I couldn't eat it all, asked my hubby if he was interested in trying it.....he polished off the rest!
This will be a staple for sure!
Gary, start writing your cookbook while you're out of work!

UMMM, WOW, THIS IS A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!! NO WONDER YOU GOT A PROMOTION ;D ;D ;D
-

Sigh. Beebs ruins everything....
-
Beebs needs an injection of self confidence!
-
Just finished a wonderful version of your pizza, Gary... I laid thin strips of cheese in the pan (too lazy to shred it) and layered on thin strips of Parmesan. Fried it on both sides, put it on paper towels to blot off excess oil then used the pizza cutter to make triangles... dipped them in 2 tablespoons of salsa. 1 carb is all and very satisfying!
-
Will be giving this a go for sure....Have I mentioned Im a Mouse!!!...lol ::)
-
I just ate a Gary pizza, too! Mine had little tiny pieces of pepperoni, some tomato, green onion, and white onion (not much). Yummy! I also made the sunflower crackers today and they were a hit with my family.
-
So, went to the store yesterday to get block cheeses with 0 carbs. But every block I picked up still had 1g carbs per 1 oz serving.
Katary/all--are there any national brands of block cheese that you buy that have 0 carbs? I love cheese and eat a lot of it but I certainly don't want to waste my precious carbs on it if I don't really have to.
Thanks :)
-
i just buy the kroger brand or ask them to slice me a hunk off at the deli:) they both say 0 carbs here in ky:)
-
I got a block yesterday Kraft Natural cheese has 0 carbs
-
Haha who doesn't love KY?! I've had many a good times at Churchill Downs.
I used to live in Cinci area and I really wish we had Kroger in Chicago...
-
where in cincy? i live in n.ky. my job interview today was in fairfield.
-
Pretty close to Fairfield actually...went to college out that way.
-
blue ash?
-
Nope, Oxford.
-
Oxford is very nice. Incidentally I found a whole foods very close to me. Now I just have to find out how to get there!!
-
oh miami u. do we have a partier in the room? :o
-
Me? Not anymore lol.
-
Haha well I graduated about 4 years ago, but Miami was certainly a good time ;)
-
Luv, luv the Katary Pizza!! :D :D
The first 3 times I made it, there was a quite a bit of oil. Not sure if it was the cheese slices, pepperoni or both. The next time I used shredded cheese, but still had puddles of oil.
The most recent Katary Pizza was not pepperoni, but a ranch/bacon/chicken pizza. I lined the fry pan with parchment, added a little olive oil, then cheeses, meats, etc. I cooked on low temp - it turned out great with very little oil and the crust was golden brown. Next time, I may just Pam the parchment without the oil.
Beebs – maybe this method might work for you in your non-nonstick pan. Although I might Pam the pan (just in case any cheese oozed out of the parchment) first, then add oiled parchment, followed by ingredients. Just a thought... :)
-
It's a good idea so spray the pan, but you shouldn't need to add oil because of the oil in the cheese and other toppings.
-
My mum says Im not allowed to pam the non stick pans.... :-\
-
That's craziness! Pam is so helpful....but...it's her pans, right?
-
Guess I'm confused... (nothing new). I thought the reason you couldn't get the pizza out was because you did not have a non-stick, non-teflon pan.
-
My mum went and bought some. She says no pam.
-
I read somewhere that high heat and Pam lifts the teflon off your pans.
-
Last week I bought a Giada De Laurentiis nonstick fry pan - the paperwork said not to use a spray coating (use olive or peanut oil if necessary) and not to cook on heat higher than medium. I spray my older frypans because food sticks (like my Katary Pizza), but maybe thats why it sticks cuz I use Pam?? :o :o
-
Romarc you are correct,Pam will eat the coating off teflon pans oil is better. :D
-
Go back to the first post on this topic and try this recipe that Gary came up with. I've tried it and I like it very much. It's a great way to have pizza without any kind of bread at all :)

Hi, Ellie! :)
I used to worry about cholesterol, fats, calories, etc..
But there is recent evidence that health problems thought caused by these is NOT true!
The problem is elevated blood sugar (glucose).
High glucose causes arterial inflammation, which causes many health problems.
Avoiding high blood sugar levels is the main goal of the FTS lifestyle.
In doing this, we not only get healthier. But skinnier, too! ;D ;D ;D

Of course, as in all things. moderation is key!
We never want to eat too much of anything.
