Looking for a delicious, quick, and high-protein meal? Try this High Protein Pita Pizza! It's perfect for a satiating lunch or dinner, and with just a few ingredients, you’ll have a nutritious meal that will keep you full and satisfied. Let's dive into this easy-to-follow recipe.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a toaster oven, set it to the same temperature.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess fat and cool down. After it is cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Place the pita bread on a baking sheet or a pizza stone. If you prefer a crispier crust, you can toast the pita bread in the oven for about 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pizza sauce. Make sure the cheese covers the sauce thoroughly for a cheesy delight.
Scatter the crumbled bacon pieces evenly over the layer of cheese. This will ensure that every bite has a bit of that smoky, savory bacon flavor.
Place the pita pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pita are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two. Slice it into wedges, and enjoy your high protein pita pizza!
