Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 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.
