• Whole wheat flatbread, tortilla, or cauliflower pizza crust
• Olive oil
• Baby spinach
• Grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• Eggs
• Cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage, chopped
• Low-fat mozzarella, goat cheese, or feta
• Salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven
   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your pizza base on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Prep toppings
   In a skillet, sauté spinach in a bit of olive oil until wilted (1–2 minutes). Set aside.
3. Assemble the pizza
   Brush crust lightly with olive oil. Spread sautéed spinach evenly, then top with chopped tomatoes, cooked turkey bacon or sausage, and cheese.
4. Add eggs
   Crack 1–2 eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them out. If using small crusts, use just one egg per base.
5. Bake
   Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking and the crust is crisp.
6. Season and serve
   Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional herbs or red pepper flakes. Slice and serve immediately.
