Cheesy, doughy, garlic deliciousness!! One of the most popular recipes on the blog, and for good reason! This egg white pizza is packed with protein and made with only 3 key ingredients. It is SO EASY to make, absolutely insane reheated in the air fryer and will quickly become one of your favorites too!
HOW THIS UPSIDE DOWN EGG WHITE PIZZA CAME ABOUT
If you are new here, let me explain. This “pizza” is another one of those recipes that happened by accident. I had this awesome idea of making egg white pizza as a way to eat delicious doughy cheesy bread with some added protein from the egg whites. I really didn’t give too much thought to what might happen if I simply just poured egg whites on top of some crescent rolls and put it in the oven – but I was hopeful. It sure sounded promising. And you just can’t beat that connivence, right?
I always have to laugh when I look back at the first time I made this. I remember being so devastated that the egg whites had sunk to the bottom! Before even pulling it out of the oven, I had already dismissed this recipe as a fail and was already brainstorming how I could make it work the “right” way in the future.
UPSIDE DOWN EGG WHITE PIZZA: THE RESULT
Fast forward 10 minutes after taking the egg white pizza out of the oven. I wasn’t NOT going to eat it even if I had deemed it a “fail.” I am not one that wastes food. Any of it. 😂 I took a bite into the upside down pizza, still intrigued at how it would taste, and had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Holy smokes was it he most delicious thing ever! My brain quickly shifted from “this recipe was a fail” to “everyone NEEDS to know about this recipe!” Who cares if the egg whites had went to the bottom?
Who cares if the pizza was “upside down?”
IT WAS DELICIOUS.
IT WAS EASY.
AND HECK IT WAS MACRO FRIENDLY!
That is all that mattered. And that is still all that matters!
To be quite frank, it tasted even better than I had envisioned it would! I don’t know about you, but crescent rolls are life. And when you had cheese to it, DANG ON. Does it even get any better?
I know the egg whites may seem odd to some, but egg whites are actually one my favorite source of protein – I use them almost daily! Sometimes more than one. I love that they are what you make them. They are bland and have zero flavor, so whatever you mix it with, that is what they will taste like. They are a great way to add some quality protein into your day!
INGREDIENTS
- Crescent rolls – I know most of you know these, but those who live in countries outside of the U.S. may me shaking your head. Google a picture to see what they look like! I have heard from many outside the U.S. that pastry dough is a great substitute!
- Egg whites – Just your everyday carton of egg whites! They are a great way to add protein to many meal.
- Shredded cheese – Mozzarella is the classic choice but I like to switch the cheese I use each time to keep it interesting.
- Ranch seasoning mix – I used ranch seasoning because I am obsessed with it. It brings such an amazing to flavor to anything, but especially the crescent roll + cheese + egg whites. If you don’t have any on hand, I would just throw in a couple of shakes of each of these: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
HOW TO MAKE UPSIDE DOWN EGG WHITE PIZZA
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray.
- Open crescent rolls and place along the bottom of the dish. Press down to spread and even out along the bottom and part of the sides of the dish. Try to seal the seams as much as possible.
- In a medium sized bowl, add egg whites and ranch seasoning. Briefly whisk egg whites to mix in the season and to fluff them up. Alternatively, you can just shake egg white cartons to fluff the egg whites up and pour over top the crescent rolls, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning overtop.
- Pour egg whites over crescent rolls. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until egg whites have fully cooked and crescent rolls are starting to golden brown.
- Take out, sprinkle with the shredded cheese and place back in the oven. Bake for a few more minutes just so the cheese can melt.
HOW TO REHEAT EGG WHITE PIZZA
Best ways to reheat – in this order:
- Air fryer. You MUST try it this way. I just put it in for 5 or so minutes on 350 degrees F. Holy smokes though – it is even better the next day when you do this. It gets a little crispy on the outside but stays doughy in the middle, with all the same bready cheesy flavors as before. It is absolute perfection.
- In the oven. If you don’t have an air fryer, the oven is your next best bet. You can do it on broil until it starts to get brown (preferred) or just bake at 400 degrees F until desired temperature is reached.
- Microwave. If you are in rush, this is the way to go. Even when reheated in the microwave, this egg white pizza is very forgiving and reheats insanely well.
WHAT TO SERVE EGG WHITE PIZZA WITH
- Fresh fruit
- Roasted/Air Fried vegetables, like Air Fryer Green Beans
- Chicken or turkey sausage links
- Side salad

Love this recipe so much! So easy to make and very versatile. I like adding caramelized onions and shredded chicken. I make this every other weekend!
So easy + so yummy to make! You can turn it into a pizza with any toppings your hear desires or make it into breadsticks!
It took everything in me not to eat the whole thing in one sitting. I put it away and my boyfriend devoured the rest lol. Seriously SO GOOD!
Can these be made mini like into muffins?
My boyfriend never likes the healthy recipes I make…unless they are Lauren’s 😀 SO GOOD!
This stuff is great!! I dip it in marinara like a breadstick and eat with a Caesar salad for a lightened up Italian meal
Made this tonight for the first time! So easy and delicious! I added some basil marina sauce on top, and it was fiancé approved as well!

Awesome blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thanks!
This is so easy to make, versatile and damn good!
Absolutely loved this recipe!! It’s perfect for those nights where you want to indulge but doesn’t leave you feeling gross afterwards.
Wow!!! This recipe is legit! I made this for myself and my kiddos and they ATE IT UP!! So easy, and so tasty!
I’m really inspired along with your writing talents as smartly as with the layout to your weblog. Is that this a paid subject or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it抯 uncommon to look a nice weblog like this one these days..
So delicious! This recipe is perfect for a quick, no-stress and high protein breakfast! I love using everything but the bagel seasoning on top 🙂
Soooo good and super easy to make! Its now part of my weekly meal prep!!😋😋😋
This is such an easy recipe!! And so so good. Definitely gonna be a go-to meal prep for grab-n-go breakfasts!
I keep seeing instagram posts about this and cant wait to try!! You are an amazing cook and recipe creator! So clever!
I’ve seen too many people rave about this recipe to not have it on my to-do for this week!!
Funny story… I was dying to make these. I went to the store to get everything and grabbed the egg whites I always buy in the carton. I get home and start making this and realize that something is up with the egg whites. I opened the carton and start pouring the egg whites out and notice it’s straight up yellow. I start freaking out cuz I’m like nooooo this is gonna have way more calories now. The carton said “Made with 100% Egg Whites” so I was very confused. It also had the same nutrition as egg whites so I didn’t understand what happened. I thought maybe they labeled the carton wrong and put eggs in there. I didn’t want to go back so I tried it with whatever this was and after googling forever I realized they were egg beaters which I thought were whisked up eggs. But turns out egg beaters are just colored egg whites and not whole eggs and it was still delicious!!! I cut them up like bread sticks and dipped them in pizza sauce. SO GOOD.
So easy to make and so freaking good!!! Love love it!!
Literally the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life. It’s so easy to make and even my toddler loves it! Thank you for always making BOMB macro-friendly recipes!
All of the recreations of this on Instagram look amazing!! Wanna try for Christmas Eve!
This recipe is for sure being added to my weekly food rotation. Very little ingredients for such a great taste. And little did I know I could make 2 batches with one pillsbury roll. My favorite to eat this is layered with marinara sauce and ground beef! Yum!
Just finally moved to my apartment and excited to try this!! Have you tried making cauliflower crust? Considering giving that a try.. Thanks for posting so many great recipes, Lauren!
Dying dying dying to try this recipe! All of Lauren’s recipes are incredible so I have no doubt that this lives up to all the hype! Can’t wait to make it on Christmas!!!!!! Xoxo
Always looking for different breakfast options. I think this would be so good with TJ ETBTB seasoning as well. 😍
This was so good, even my 3 year old had several slices! I made it just with cheese (toddler insists) and dipped in marinara sauce, but next time I will add more toppings.
Holy f!! This recipe is so wonderful in so many ways!! Healthy, easy, and so so delicious. All of these recipes are so simple and I have pretty much all of the ingredients for everything!! Even though they’re simple they taste BOMB and curb all my cravings. 👏🏼
I made these for my husband and he loved them! Can’t wait to make them again!
I love this recipe!!! It’s so quick and easy and you the macros are perfect so it’s a repeat for me!!!
This is so good considering I love pizza and breadsticks 😍 such a good healthier version to keep you on track
I see this recipe all over instagram!! I really want to try it! It looks so cheesy and like the real thing. Thinking about adding this to my meal prep for next week
Pizza that’s healthy and high in protein? Amazing!
Omg this is the best thing I have ever had! I haven’t had pizza in years and this just allows me to eat pizza without the extra fat! My weekend breakfast for sure!
Cheesy bread of any kind is my weakness girl 😍 I’m definitely making these along with your brownies this weekend as a meal prep for next week! I just need the pillsbury rolls and cheeses! Cant wait!
Am I the only one who has to bake mine longer than 15 minutes? I followed the directions to a T and my egg whites are still super runny lol. I put it back in for another 10. On top rack, too!
I really want to try this! However, I’m in the UK and we don’t have reduced fat crescent rolls. Could you suggest an alternative for the base? Thanks!
Hey Natalie! Do you guys have any type of crescent rolls there? It doesn’t have to be reduced-fat (that only saves a little bit of fat anyway). I’ve heard other people in your area say they have found Jus-Rol at Dunnes store? Also Ocado, Waitrose, and Sainsbury’s. I’ve never heard of any of those, but hopefully that helps! It comes in a tin can usually in the refrigerated section. Puffed pastry dough may even work too. 🙂
Sadly Canada sucks for fat free cheese… as it doesn’t even exist. Can it still be made with just using low fat as that’s my only option?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Kyla! As I see from IG you already went ahead with the low fat 😆 and totally works awesome with just that!!
I just made this recipe for the first time and it is DE-LISH. I love the dough and cheesy goodness together. Great macro friendly recipe!
Family loves this recipe! Lauren has a lot more awesome recipes on her cite!
This egg white upside down pizza is SO. GOOD. Literally had one today before my workout. The texture is so good. Also, adding everything but the bagel seating to it is SO YUM. This is such a great substitute if you are craving cheese bread!! Love it so much.
THIS IS GENIUS. Period. This is a recipe I make occasionally as a nice switch-up from the usual – quick bowl of oats, or egg whites & fruit, etc. – and it is definitely something that I go to sleep looking forward to the whole week! While it is SCRUMPTIOUS the first day, fresh out of the oven, it is – dare I say, BETTER – as a leftover, but reheated at 350 degrees for a few mins in the air fryer!! I love the concept, taste, all the garlic and herbs, JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS RECIPE! Thank you again Lauren!!
These are SO quick and easy to make! My husband and I love them and make them so often. They are good hot or even straight out of the fridge!
Is this really one serving?
I’m not really sure what you’re referring to when asking this since there are multiple pictures and nutrition info? Are you talking about the macros?
This recipe is the 💣. I seriously eat this EVERY DAY for lunch and it is so good. I double the recipe, cut back on the cheese (64g for the double recipe) and add lots of seasonings. It is amazing. I eat 1/4 of the 9×13 and it’s filling and delicious (and usually 335~ calories so I have room for a lunch dessert 🥰). I never get tired of it and I can’t tell you how much easier tracking macros is if you eat one thing over multiple days. Thank you so much!!!!!!
Holy moly! These are amazing!!!!!! My parents take them in the deer stand and love how easy they are to bring and eat! You’re the best!
I just recently got an air fryer and saw your post about it being better reheated in air fryer. My question is won’t the egg whites stick to the air fryer basket? Or do you reheat it with the egg side on top? Wait but then the cheese would stick ugh!
Still excited to try your recipe though.
Hey Raquel! So I have never had any problem with my pizza sticking when laying on the egg white side. Maybe try spraying with a little cooking spray though just to be safe 🙂
So this is one of my go to prep and fave recipes but usually just make it as is. If I add pizza sauce or other toppings of choice, do you do that after you bake it as the recipe states? Or pizza sauce and toppings before the cheese goes on top of the egg whites? Thanks!
Excellent way of describing, and pleasant article to obtain facts concerning my
presentation focus, which i am going to deliver in college.
Good web site you’ve got here.. It’s difficult to find quality writing like yours these days.
I truly appreciate individuals like you! Take care!!

Has anyone added spinach to this?
I’ve made this a couple times and it’s delish.
Yes! So good with spinach! I added in it my SPINACH, MUSHROOM & GOAT CHEESE EGG WHITE PIZZA recipe (SO GOOD with the goat cheese too!!) https://laurenfitfoodie.com/spinach-mushroom-and-goat-cheese-egg-white-pizza/
Wow! I was not expecting this to be this good! It basically just tastes like you’re eating crescent rolls! I sprinkled extra ranch seasoning on top of the egg white mixture because I really like the flavor of ranch seasoning. I haven’t tried reheated yet, but straight out of the oven it is so good!! Definitely will be making this every weekend for an east weekday breakfast!
This was such a fun recipe to make.. not to mention, delicious! There are soo many variations you can make. I saw a few people make it with pizza toppings, etc. Jump on the Upside down egg white train!
I made this last week and loved it! I’ve just found out that I need to go gluten free. Has anyone had success using cauliflower crust or another alternative to make this?! Pretty please?
YES! My friend Amy made a gluten-free crescent roll dough that she uses for this recipe frequently! She has it on her instagram page, @scriptsandspoons 🙂

I have been looking at this recipe for a while and took the plunge to make it last night. It’s weirdly good! Out of the oven it’s a bit “eggy” for me but the next day toasting it up was SO good and really filling. Thank you for being creative with macros. I shared with my fitness group!
OP
I don’t like cresent rolls – could I use bread dough instead?
I have never tried it that way but I don’t see why not!
Would like to join mailing list
Love it. Make it all the time
This was so easy to make!
Trying this tonight for dinner! Do you think it would work being baked in a smaller size dish? Can’t wait to try it!!
I love this for lunch! I think I have made this 5 weeks in a row now. I turn it into 5 lunches and pair it with a caesar salad. So good!
This was upside down egg white pizza is really yummy and the portion is huge.
These are delicious as a snack or to add to a meal. I love reheating them on the air fryer for more crispy ness 😋 the ability to make these with different topping is a plus!
So easy to make and so delicious! Love the fact that it doesn’t take a lot of ingredients. One of my favorites!
Alright – if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, lemme tell you right now that Puff Pastry does not work. It doesn’t do the thing. It’s DELICIOUS, don’t get me wrong, but the layers of dough and egg white don’t “invert” the way the recipe describes. I’ve only tried it with Pam’s Reduced Fat Puff Pastry sheets, but puff pastry is puff pastry is puff pastry. Again, though, IT IS DELICIOUS AND YOU SHOULD MAKE IT ANYWAY!
This first attempt, I made it by lining a baking tray with foil, pressing 1.5 puff pastry sheets [my tray size] onto the bottom, and pouring the egg white goodness over the top, just as in the recipe. It adhered together, so don’t worry, it DOES bake! It just doesn’t become “upside down”. I’m going to try this again because it was really moreish and a great simple lunch snack, but this time I might try baking paper instead of foil, letting the puff pastry warm up a little more so I can mangle them together into one, and then actually pricking the pastry with a fork to see if that encourages the egg whites to do the thing.
Again, SUPER, SUPER TASTY. GO MAKE IT, EVEN IF WE CAN’T GET CRESCENT ROLL DOUGH OR ANYTHING LIKE IT HERE.
Also, add dried onion flakes, or everything bagel seasoning/home made version of it. You’re welcome.
Appreciate your comment and feedback Max!! I am sure everyone who can’t find crescent rolls where they are do too! THANK YOU! Would love to hear how the second attempt goes. Also everything but the bagel seasoning! Why have I not thought of that!? AMAZING IDEA! 😍
Made a high batch and froze some for meal prep! Would you be able to reheat it from frozen or do you think I would need to thaw it out before hand?
