Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch crust Whole wheat pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 strips Turkey bacon
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese, non-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the turkey bacon until crisp in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove and crumble or chop into small pieces.
Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch crust.
Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Place the rolled-out dough onto it.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon, red onion slices, and spinach leaves over the top.
Crack the egg in the center of the pizza.
Top with reduced-fat mozzarella cheese.
Spritz the edges of the crust lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the egg is cooked to your liking.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
