Ingredients
- 1 whole wheat pizza crust
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your pizza crust will cook evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare your pizza crust by placing it on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Lightly spray the crust with cooking spray to prevent sticking and enhance browning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk them together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the diced vegetables (such as bell peppers and onions) with a little salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance their flavor.
- Spread the diced vegetables evenly over the pizza crust. Make sure to distribute them well so every bite is flavorful.
- Pour the whisked egg whites over the vegetables on the pizza crust, ensuring an even coverage. This will create a fluffy layer of protein.
- Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheese evenly over the top of the egg whites and vegetables. This will add a delicious cheesy flavor while keeping the dish low in fat.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
- Slice the breakfast pizza into quarters and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy and delicious breakfast pizza!
