Turkey, Egg White, and Ricotta Breakfast Pizza



Since making my first breakfast pizza last week, I have been craving another.  The pizza is another variation of my typical egg whites and oats breakfast, for that is all I use to make the crust.
This was my first time using ricotta in a breakfast recipe and I loved it.  The pizza is really quick and simple to make.  In a bullet mixer, blend the 1/2c. egg whites and 1/2c. oats.  Pour the combination into a large skillet that is sprayed with cooking spray.

I discovered that gently using a spatula to spread the batter helps to create a larger pizza crust. Yet, still maintains a good thickness so that you can pick up a slice to eat and all the toppings don't fall off, 

Use a spatula to spread the batter into a larger diameter.

In a smaller skillet cook the other 1/2c. egg whites.  Let to egg whites fully cook on one side then flip over and cook for 2min. on the other side.  Once they are cooked all the way through, use a wooden spoon or spatula to break them up into pieces.

The crust and egg whites take about the same time to cook, and while they are doing so, you can get your toppings prepared.  I heated up  my left over ground turkey and steamed broccoli in the microwave, sliced up the tomatoes, and measured out 2tbsp. of the ricotta.

2tbsp. Ricotta cheese to cover the crust.
After you have spread the ricotta on to the crust, begin to top the pizza with the sliced tomatoes, broccoli, egg whites, ground turkey, fresh basil (optional), and crushed red pepper flakes.

 Slice the pizza into 4 pieces and sit down, relax, and enjoy this amazing combination of ingredients.  I only ask that you try to make it last by savoring each bite because before you know it, you have gobbled it all up!  When I got to the last piece, I found myself thinking of what kind of pizza I will create next... So stay tuned!
