Instructions
Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.
Tortillas
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set aside (2) baking sheets, lined with parchment paper.
Add the eggs and egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk together for a few minutes until fluffy. Add the cream cheese, and whisk together until it becomes a smooth batter.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, psyllium husk, and coconut flour. Add one spoonful of this mixture into the batter, whisk together, and repeat until combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes, or until the batter has thickened (see tip).
Use a spatula to spread the batter on the baking sheets, into 4-6 thin circles, or 2 thin rectangles (no more than ¼" or 5 mm thick).
Bake on the middle and upper racks for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven, and set aside.
Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (225°C).
Spread the tomato sauce onto each crust, top with the cheese, basil, or oregano, and return to middle and upper oven racks.
Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. Set aside to cool for a few minutes, and then slice, and serve.
Pizza
How long will it take for the batter to thicken?
This will depend on the brand of psyllium husk – some brands will thicken faster than others.
Tip
These little pizzas made with low-carb tortilla bread are perfect as a snack, or appetizer. If you’d love to make a pizza meal for the whole family, follow this recipe for a low-carb pizza.

Might try almond milk. Stay away from soy milk due to phytoestrogens (mimics womens estrogen).

Store bought tortillas are still wheat based and not a good option.

H-E-B has a great low carb tortilla in the frozen section. They are made using almond flour and everything that is Keto friendly. None of the hidden carb heavy ingredients. Very fortunate to have found these babies.

Generally, that is not a keto friendly option due to carb count and added sweeteners.

Considering Condensed milk as 54g of carbs for 100 grams I would say no. The reason you are adding butter is to add fat and it will make you full

Noticed there is no reference to adding the cheese in the directions. I assume it is after the sauce, but this should be edited.

Just a heads up that most store-bought tortillas are made with ingredients we recommend avoiding. I recommend using this recipe to make your own. Here's our Ingredients to Avoid list that may be helpful for you! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/ingredients-to-avoid
