7 Minute HCG Phase 4 Pizza Recipe

Try our delicious 7 minute phase 4 pizza recipe served 6 different ways.  Now that you are on HCG Diet Maintenance (Phase 4), you can have reasonable portions of carbs with your meals.  One of my favorite “comfort foods” is pizza.  When I was losing all my weight on the hCG diet, I wondered if I would ever be able to have pizza again.  The answer is YES!  I’m sharing with you many different ways to make delicious 7 minute HCG Phase 4 Pizza recipe with all the toppings you love and a few combinations you might not have thought of.  One of the secrets to successful maintenance with the hCG diet is carbohydrate management.  When I talk about reasonable carb servings, I refer to a strategy of pairing a carbohydrate serving with a greater or equivalent portion of protein and some fat.

When I created this Phase 4 Pizza recipe, I wanted something quick and easy that would minimize the number of carbohydrates in the pizza but still keep the satisfying crunch reminiscent of a crisp, thin crust pizza.   A simple whole grain tortilla is an easy way to cut carbs for pizza and makes a delicious, crispy, thin crust pizza that helps you manage your carbs.  If you have a sensitivity to gluten and wheat products, try a rice or other gluten free grain based tortilla instead.

Next, choose your favorite sauce and get creative as you load it up with your favorite low carb toppings like fresh vegetables, herbs, meats, and a blend of your favorite cheeses.  It’s a great way to use up leftovers like (roasted chicken or beef) too.  This HCG Phase 4 pizza recipe takes only 7 minutes to prepare and is great for the whole family.

Choose your Sauce

The best option for delicious Phase 4 Pizza sauce is to make your own using fresh ingredients.  I’ll be sharing recipes for simple low carb sauces here on HCGRecipes.com in the future.  If you decide to use a pre-made or store bought sauce, make sure it doesn’t have added sugar or high carb content.

• Marinara sauce (you can use a quality spaghetti sauce if you are pressed for time or make your own)
• Olive oil and Italian Herbs (Lightly brush olive oil on your tortilla crust and sprinkle with Italian herbs and a little salt)
• Pesto Sauce
• Alfredo sauce (homemade is best but you can also use quality store bought alfredo sauce too)

Prepare your toppings

• Grate cheese
• Slice your vegetables, onions, garlic, etc.
• Choose your meats and shred or slice them into bite size pieces

Directions

Choose your sauce and toppings and assemble your pizza.  When using a toaster oven, place your loaded Phase 4 Pizza directly on the rack.  Toast your pizza for 1-2 cycles or until the cheese is brown and bubbly and the edges are brown.  You can also wrap the edges with foil to prevent burning if you like.
