High-Protein Pizza Breakfast Casserole (Printer-friendly)

A protein-packed morning bake with Greek yogurt crust, eggs, pepperoni, and cheese.

# What You'll Need:

→ Greek Yogurt Dough

01 - 1½ cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or 2%

→ Toppings

05 - 8 large eggs
06 - ½ cup low-fat milk
07 - 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
08 - ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
09 - ½ cup turkey pepperoni slices
10 - ½ teaspoon dried oregano
11 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
12 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan or casserole dish.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add Greek yogurt and mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth.
03 - Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, forming a thin, even base.
04 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the dough base. Sprinkle both cheeses over the eggs and top with turkey pepperoni slices.
06 - Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
07 - Let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt dough is tender and crispy without being fussy, so even if you don't bake often, you'll nail it.
  • One pan means less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy breakfast instead of scrubbing dishes.
  • It's loaded with 22 grams of protein per serving, which means you're actually full until lunch.
02 -
  • Don't skip the 5-minute rest after baking—it makes the difference between a casserole that falls apart and one that holds its shape on the plate.
  • Greek yogurt varies in thickness; if yours is very thick, loosen it slightly with a splash of milk before mixing with the flour, or your dough will be dense.
03 -
  • If your oven runs hot, tent the casserole loosely with foil for the first 15 minutes to prevent over-browning the cheese while the eggs finish cooking through.
  • Use fresh Greek yogurt, not the kind that's been sitting in your fridge for weeks—it makes a noticeable difference in how the dough rises and binds together.
