Description

A savory and hearty casserole featuring Greek yogurt, eggs, turkey pepperoni, and cheese, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2% or 0% fat
  • 1 cup self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper, optional
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley, optional for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare your baking pan by lightly greasing a 9×13-inch rimmed sheet pan or lining it with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, garlic powder, oregano, and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape the dough into a rectangle and press it evenly into the edges of your baking pan.
  6. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough.
  7. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  8. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the sauce.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer, covering everything evenly.
  10. Add toppings by scattering turkey pepperoni, the remaining cheese, bell pepper, and red onion on top.
  11. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  12. Let it cool for about 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs before slicing.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the night before and refrigerating; can also be frozen for later use.
