Ingredients

- Substitute turkey sausage or bacon to vary the protein.
- For a spicy twist, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or hot sauce before baking.

FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the pizzas and store them uncovered in the fridge overnight. Bake them fresh in the morning for best results.
Can I use whole eggs or just egg whites?
Either works well. Whole eggs give a richer flavor, while egg whites provide a lighter option if preferred.
