Step-by-Step Instructions 👩🍳
Step 1 — Mash the Avocados
Scoop the flesh from the avocados into a large bowl and mash until completely smooth.
💡 Tip: Slightly firm avocados create a sturdier crust.
Step 2 — Make the Pizza Dough
Add the eggs, grated Parmesan, sesame seeds, and your favorite seasonings.
Mix until you have a thick, sticky mixture.
💡 Tip: Freshly grated Parmesan creates the crispiest crust.
Step 3 — Shape the Crust
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spread the mixture into a round pizza about 1–1.5 cm (½ inch) thick.
Keep the edges slightly thicker to create a classic pizza crust.
💡 Tip: Wet your spoon slightly to spread the mixture more easily.
Step 4 — Bake Until Golden
Bake at 230°C (450°F) for about 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp around the edges.
For extra crispiness, broil for the final minute.
💡 Tip: Let the crust become deeply golden before removing it from the oven.
Step 5 — Add Your Favorite Toppings
Allow the crust to cool for a couple of minutes before adding toppings.
Try smoked salmon, fresh arugula, and cherry tomatoes, or create your own favorite combination.
💡 Tip: A drizzle of garlic yogurt sauce or marinara takes it to the next level.
Nutrition Highlights 🌿

FAQ 💬
Can I use another cheese?
Yes. Parmesan gives the crispiest crust, but Pecorino or a mixture with mozzarella also works.
Can I make it dairy-free?
This recipe depends on Parmesan for structure, so dairy-free cheese may not create the same result.
Can I prepare the crust ahead of time?
Yes. Bake the crust, cool it completely, then refrigerate for up to 2 days before reheating.
Can I freeze it?
Yes. Freeze the baked crust and add fresh toppings after reheating.
Why is my crust too soft?
The avocados may have contained too much moisture, or the crust simply needs a few extra minutes in the oven.
Is this keto-friendly?
Yes. It’s naturally low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats.
What toppings work best?
Fresh vegetables, smoked salmon, grilled chicken, mozzarella, or fresh herbs all pair beautifully.
Can I cook it in an air fryer?
Yes, if your air fryer is large enough. Cook until the crust is firm and golden.
