- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup plus ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese , divided
- 5 large pastured eggs plus 1 egg white , divided
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 slices nitrate-free thick sliced bacon
- 1 small onion
- 1 red bell pepper , seeded, deveined, and dice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1½ cups marinara sauce
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can fire roasted tomatoes, drained
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, almond flour, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 egg plus the egg white, and the Italian seasoning. Mix very well. Pat the mixture into a circle, an oval or rectangle ¼ inch thick, roughly about 11 by 7 inches. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees and let the crust cool for a few minutes.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and add the onion and red bel pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring. Add the marinara sauce, fire roasted tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 6 minutes.
- Spoon the sauce onto the crust and make 4 little indentations with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each indentation. Sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper and bake until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese and serve.
