🥘 Ingredient Notes
For this healthy homemade breakfast pizza recipe, you'll need:
- Liquid Egg Whites: Using egg whites from a carton is the ultimate "The Lazy Way" shortcut. It saves you from wasting yolks and makes measuring a breeze. But if you DO need to use whites from whole eggs, check out my "top tip" for a way to use up the yolks and avoid waste!
- Lean Sliced Ham: I love using honey maple ham deli slices for that perfect balance of sweet and savory. It's an incredibly lean protein that keeps the points low while adding a satisfying saltiness.
- Fresh Chives: These add a beautiful bright green color and a mild, delicate onion flavor that won't overpower the eggs. If you don't have fresh, finely chopped green onion tops are a great substitute!
- Part-Skim Mozzarella or Low-Fat Cheddar: These provide that signature "pizza stretch" while keeping the calories significantly lower than full-fat cheese.
- Whole Wheat Pita (Balady Bread): This acts as your "crust." It provides a sturdy, whole-grain foundation that gets perfectly crispy in the cast iron skillet.
- Grated Parmesan: A tiny dusting of fresh Parmesan creates a savory "crust" effect on the edges of the eggs as they bake.
*Please see recipe card for full list of ingredients and quantities
📖 Variations & Substitutions
- ham - you could use low-fat turkey sausage, turkey pepperoni, or turkey bacon as a substitute
- mushrooms - you could use another vegetable like bell peppers (if you're not a fan)
- pizza toppings - add your favorite toppings such as jalapenos, black olives, fresh tomatoes, white onions, or caramelized onion
- pizza crust (pita bread) - alternatively, you could use homemade pizza dough, like my WW friendly 2 ingredient pizza dough, cauliflower crust, or make a cloud bread pizza crust using my cloud bread recipe (minus the everything bagel seasoning)
🔪Step-by-Step: How to Make Healthy Egg White Breakfast Pizza
PREP: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Spray a 10" cast-iron frying pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Set pita inside the pan. Ensure that the sides of pita are raised.
Top pita with pizza sauce and half of the ham
In a medium bowl, whisk egg whites with chives and pour egg mixture on top.
Add remaining ham, then mushrooms and cheddar cheese to top of pizzas. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Place on middle rack in prepared oven and bake for approximately 40- 50 minutes or until eggs are set (no longer runny).
Hint: If you don't have a cast iron frying pan, you can use a tart pan, a deep dish pizza pan, or any 10" pan with raised edges.
Expert Recipe Tips
- Prevent the "Soggy Center": If you are adding "wet" toppings like mushrooms or tomatoes, sauté them for 2 minutes in a dry pan first to cook off the moisture. This ensures your egg white pizza stays firm and easy to slice.
- The Broiler Finish: For the most authentic pizza look, pop your skillet or pan under the broiler for the last 60 seconds.
- The "Parchment" Rule: If you are baking this on a sheet pan with raised edges, always use parchment paper. Egg whites are notoriously sticky, and this ensures you can slide your pizza right onto the plate without it breaking
🔢WW Points
This easy breakfast pizza recipe is 2 WW points per slice.
🥗 What to Serve with Egg White Breakfast Pizza
This healthy homemade breakfast pizza pairs well with fresh berries or this Old Fashioned Fruit Salad (with Honey Lime Dressing) (shown).

Top Tip
If you use egg whites instead of liquid egg whites from the grocery store, you can use the leftover egg yolks to make my Healthy and WW friendly Hollandaise Sauce!
🍽 Equipment
This breakfast recipe works well with a 10 inch cast iron skillet/frying pan (affiliate link). I recommend the Lodge brand; they are excellent quality and pre-seasoned! However, if you don't have a cast iron frying pan, you can use a tart pan, a deep dish pizza pan, or any 10" pan with raised edges.
🌡️Storing
This healthy spin on breakfast pizza can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave for approximately 45 seconds. However, it can be eaten hot or cold.
You can make this healthy breakfast pizza recipe in advance and heat it up in the microwave for 45 seconds or pop it in the oven while you get yourself and/or the kids ready. You can even take it on the go! It's delicious hot or cold.
❔Recipe FAQs
Yes! By replacing a traditional flour-based crust with an egg-white-heavy base, you significantly reduce the carbohydrates and calories while doubling the protein. It's an ideal "Healthy Balance" meal.
Absolutely. You can bake a large egg white breakfast pizza on Sunday, slice it, and reheat them in the air fryer or toaster oven during the week to get that "fresh-baked" crunch back.
While the ingredients are similar, the technique is different. By using a higher ratio of toppings to eggs and finishing it under the broiler, we achieve a thinner, crispier "pizza" texture rather than the thick, spongy texture of a traditional frittata.

This recipe looks fabulous! Do you think it would work with 2 ingredient dough as the base?
Terri Gilson says
Thanks, Dawn! I don’t see why not, but you’ll have to make a thick crust or the liquid will run off. Please let me know how it turns out! Terri
Gabby says
This looks so delicious! It's like a quiche-pizza hybrid which are two of my favourite things! I cannot wait to try it!
Terri Gilson says
