2 cups egg substitute
1/4 cup fat-free milk
2 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (or the temperature called for on the pizza crust package).
Unroll the pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the egg substitute and milk until frothy.
Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, just until they start to set.
Spread the eggs on the partially baked pizza crust. Top with the bacon and cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the eggs are set, the cheese is melted, and the crust is lightly browned.
Remove the breakfast pizza from the oven and cut into wedges. Serve hot.
recipe tips
Preheat the oven and baking sheet together for a crispier crust.
Use a rolling pin to evenly spread out the pizza dough.
Pierce the dough with a fork before pre-baking to prevent it from puffing up.
For added flavor, season the egg mixture with herbs like chives, parsley, or basil.
Cook the eggs until they're slightly underdone as they will continue to cook in the oven.
Sprinkle some herbs or spices on top of the pizza before the final baking for extra flavor.
If using additional toppings, pre-cook them to remove excess moisture.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before cutting to let the toppings set.
Use a pizza stone for even cooking and a crisper crust.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
Garnish with fresh arugula or spinach after baking for a fresh element.
Experiment with different types of reduced-fat cheese for varying flavors and textures.
Consider adding a thin layer of tomato sauce under the eggs for a traditional pizza flavor.
Make it even healthier by using turkey bacon instead of real bacon.
