Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Joseph’s Pita Bread (or thin, low-carb pita/flatbread)
- 1 Large Egg
- 90g (about 6 tbsp) Liquid Egg Whites
- 2 Wedges Light Laughing Cow Cheese (or light cream cheese/Greek yogurt)
- 21g (about 3 tbsp) Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or other melty cheese)
- 14g (about 2 tbsp) Applewood Bacon Crumbles (or turkey bacon/bacon bits)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
- Scramble the egg and liquid egg whites in a bowl with salt and pepper.
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with optional cooking spray.
- Pour in the egg mixture and gently cook until just combined, forming soft curds. Remove from heat before fully cooked.
- Spread the Laughing Cow cheese wedges evenly over the pita bread, reaching the edges.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs over the cheese base.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
- Place the assembled pizza in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 6 minutes.
- After 6 minutes, carefully pull out the basket and sprinkle the bacon crumbles over the top.
- Slide the basket back in and continue air frying for the remaining 2 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pizza, let it sit for a minute, then slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, ensure your pita bread is thin and avoid overloading with wet ingredients.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, bake in a conventional oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes.
- To prep ahead, scramble eggs and chop toppings the night before. Assemble and air fry in the morning.
- For a more golden and bubbly cheese topping, use the broil setting or a higher temperature (400°F) for the last 30-60 seconds, watching closely.
