Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/ 175 degrees C
Spray a 10" cast iron frying pan with non-stick cooking spray. 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.
Set pita inside. Ensure that sides of pita are raised. Top pita with pizza sauce and half of the ham.
Mix egg whites with chives and pour on top.
Add remaining ham, then mushrooms and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Place on middle rack in prepared oven and bake for approximately 40- 50 minutes or until egg are set (no longer runny).
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat in microwave for approximately 45 seconds

Notes

Expert 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, always use parchment paper. Egg whites are notoriously sticky, and this ensures you can slide your pizza right onto the plate without it breaking.

Substitutions & Variations:

ham - you could use low-fat turkey sausage or turkey bacon as a substitute
chives- you could use green onions as a substitute
cheese - you could use mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar
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 myWW friendly 2 ingredient pizza dough, cauliflower crust, or make a cloud bread pizza crust using my cloud bread recipe (minus the everything bagel seasoning)

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
