Description

A comforting, high-protein breakfast casserole that combines the delightful flavors of pizza with fluffy eggs and gooey cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2% or 0% fat
  • 1 cup self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper, optional
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley, optional for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the sheet pan by lightly greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, garlic powder, oregano, and salt.
  4. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, dusting hands with extra flour if needed.
  5. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Roll the dough into a rectangle to fit your prepared sheet pan.
  7. Spread the low-sugar pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
  9. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce.
  10. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  11. Top with turkey pepperoni, remaining cheese, bell pepper, and red onion if desired.
  12. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and cheese is golden and bubbly.
  13. Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs.
  14. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the casserole unbaked the night before and refrigerate. For smaller portions, divide the ingredients and use a smaller dish.
