Sort of mini pizzas

Maybe someone already posted this idea but if not, maybe someone else will like these...

You know those 'Atkins Revolution Rolls'? They really come in handy!(and have less than 1 carb)

I use them to make little mini pizzas. I don't even bother with tomato sauce. I just spray a little butter on the rolls, sprinkle on seasonings, add mozzarella, red and green bell peppers and pepperoni. Then I just bake them for a few minutes in a toaster oven.

If ya try it, watch em so they don't burn - 'cause they can quickly. Maybe broiling would be better? I'm no expert. I also don't suggest microwaving them because they just get nice and soggy.

It's a substitute for bread that was included in one of his old books. The original recipe calls for cottage cheese, but I used cream cheese instead. Here's the recipe I go by:

Atkins Revolution Rolls
makes 6 rolls.

3 large eggs (1.8 )
1 1/2 ounces cream cheese, softened (1.5)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (0.7)*
1 pinch salt (0)
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar (0.3)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with either wax paper or cooking parchment paper. If using wax paper, butter or oil it. Set aside

Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. To the egg yolks add the cream cheese and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.

To the egg whites, add the cream of tartar and salt. Beat the egg whites until it forms very stiff peaks.

Fold the egg yolks into the egg whites. Do not overmix because the egg whites will provide the "leavening" for the rolls.

Using two tablespoons, drop the the mixture into 6 equal mounds onto your prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 30-40 minutes in the middle rack of your oven. Cool completely. Store in the refrigerator in an air tight container.

*May replace the onion powder with 1 packet of Splenda. The carb count remains roughly the same per roll.

Per 1 serving( 1 roll)
Total carbs: 0.8 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
Net Carbs: 0.8grams
Cheese allowance: .25 oz

Note: The original recipe calls for 1 packet of Splenda. This is completely unnecessary. The addition of 1/2 teaspoon onion powder gives the Rolls more flavor (no onion taste) than the Splenda does. You can also add 1 tablespoon of a fiber supplement to the egg yolks if desired. Adjust your carb count if you do.


I think I tried adjusting the egg whites versus yolks for a less eggy flavor, but I don't recall the results. Of course, maybe I'm thinking of a different recipe...My memory's been shot... =( Anyway! A good recipe to have, I think.

Re: Sort of mini pizzas

Hi and no problem! Hehe.
Another note, you might test them or something before you take them out of the oven completely, as you would a cake maybe. When I baked mine for 30 minutes, the center was a little more moist than I think I liked. I guess they didn't seem completely done in the center.

Okay, I tried to make these revolution rolls. The egg whites never stiffened when whipped, they looked like soapy water. So I couldn't do anything roll-like with them.
Soooo I sprayed a 9" X 9" pan with Pam, mixed the two prepared bowls together, and poured it into the pan. Baked for 35 minutes, then took out of the oven and sprinkled liberally with shreaded mozzerella cheese. Once melted, I added some cubed tomatos. Heavenly!
This will taste even better with some garlic powder, shreaded lettuce, maybe some sliced black olives and bacon bits. A taco pizza!
This one is a winner that I think will become a staple of mine.

Anyone know what I did wrong to not get the egg whites to stiffen?
