Greek yogurt crust for protein and ease: The simple two-ingredient dough (yogurt + flour) creates a tender base in minutes and adds extra protein.
Eggs for staying power: Scrambled or baked eggs add high-quality protein and a creamy texture.
Smart toppings, big flavor: Turkey bacon, veggies, and a light sprinkle of cheese deliver richness without weighing you down.
Customizable: You can switch toppings to match your taste or what’s in your fridge.
35g protein per serving: A satisfying macro-friendly breakfast that actually holds you over until lunch.

What You’ll Need

For the crust:
- 1/2 cup (120 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (60 g) self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 3/4 tsp baking powder + pinch of salt)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of salt
For the toppings:
- 2 large eggs (or 3 egg whites + 1 whole egg)
- 1–2 slices turkey bacon, cooked and chopped (or chicken sausage)
- 1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella or reduced-fat cheddar
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 tbsp red onion, thinly sliced
- Small handful baby spinach
- 1–2 tbsp pizza sauce or olive oil (light layer)
- Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
- Optional finish: fresh basil, chives, or hot honey

Instructions

Preheat and prep: Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
Make the dough: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until a shaggy dough forms. Knead 1–2 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
If sticky, dust with a bit more flour.
Shape the crust: Press or roll the dough into a 7–8 inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to your pan. Lightly brush with olive oil if not using sauce.
Par-bake: Bake 6–8 minutes until just set and lightly puffed.
This prevents a soggy center.
Cook the eggs: While the crust bakes, scramble eggs in a nonstick pan with a pinch of salt and pepper until just set and still glossy. Don’t overcook—they’ll finish in the oven.
Assemble: Spread a very thin layer of pizza sauce or olive oil on the crust. Add spinach, peppers, onion, scrambled eggs, and turkey bacon.
Top with cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Bake: Return to the oven for 6–8 minutes, until cheese melts and edges are golden. For extra color, broil 1 minute.
Finish and serve: Let rest 2 minutes. Garnish with basil or chives.
Slice and enjoy.

Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes to keep the crust from getting soggy.
Freezer: Wrap individual slices tightly and freeze up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes.
Meal prep tip: Par-bake multiple crusts and freeze.
Top and bake straight from frozen for a quick breakfast.

Why This is Good for You

High protein: About 35g per serving supports muscle repair and keeps you satisfied.
Balanced macros: Protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats create steady energy without a mid-morning crash.
Micronutrients: Veggies add fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants.
Lighter than takeout: You control sodium, oil, and cheese portions.

Pitfalls to Watch Out For

Wet crust: Skip heavy sauce and always par-bake the crust before adding toppings.
Overcooked eggs: Stop scrambling when they’re still soft; they’ll firm up in the oven.
Too much flour: Add flour only until the dough is workable. Too much makes the crust tough.
Overloading toppings: Keep it light so the center cooks through and stays crisp.

Variations You Can Try

Caprese Breakfast: Olive oil base, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, scrambled eggs, basil, and a balsamic drizzle.
Southwest: Salsa base, pepper jack, eggs, black beans, jalapeño, and cilantro. Finish with a squeeze of lime.
Mediterranean: Hummus base, eggs, feta, olives, spinach, and red onion.
Sprinkle with oregano.
Meat Lovers (still light): Egg whites, turkey sausage, turkey bacon, and mozzarella.
Veggie Supreme: Eggs, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and a dusting of parmesan.

FAQ

Can I make the crust gluten-free?

Yes. Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add 3/4 teaspoon baking powder plus a pinch of salt. The dough may be stickier, so dust your hands and surface well.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?

Mix all-purpose flour with 3/4 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt per 1/2 cup flour.

It works the same for this recipe.

Can I bake the eggs directly on the pizza?

Absolutely. Crack 1–2 eggs onto the par-baked crust with toppings and bake until whites are set and yolks are runny, about 7–9 minutes.

How do I reach 35g protein?

Between the Greek yogurt crust, eggs, cheese, and turkey bacon, you’ll land around 35g. For an extra bump, add an extra egg white or a sprinkle of parmesan.

Can I air fry this?

Yes.

Air fry the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 5–6 minutes, add toppings, then air fry another 4–6 minutes until the cheese melts and edges are golden.
