Cheesy, doughy, garlic deliciousness! This “pizza” is packed with protein and made with only 3 key ingredients. It is so easy to make and will quickly become your favorite way to get your pizza fix in at home!
So what is upside down egg white pizza?
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! I had already dismissed this recipe as a “fail” before even pulling it out of the oven and was already brainstorming how I could make it work the “right” way in the future.
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.
IT WAS MACRO FRIENDLY.
That is all that mattered. That is still all that matters!
To be quite frank, it tasted even better than I had envisioned it. I don’t know about you, but crescent rolls are life. And when you had cheese to it…. I mean…. it almost doesn’t get much better! I know the egg whites may seem odd to some, but egg whites are actually my favorite source of protein. I use them daily. Multiple times of a day really, but 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 Used
- 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 that pastry dough is a good substitute!
- Egg whites – Just your everyday carton of egg whites! They are a great way to add protein to many meals.
- 2% mozzarella cheese – You can use any cheese really – get creative here!
- 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 Eat and What to Pair With
There are so many different ways I have eaten this pizza and so many different ways I have seen you all eat too! I know I am definitely going to leave off some, so if I missed a way you absolutely love, drop it below in the comments so we can all try it and get ideas too!
Best ways to reheat – in this order:
- In the air fryer. You MUST try it this way. I just put it in for 5 or so minutes on 350 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 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 F until desired temperature is reached.
- In the 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.
Best ways to incorporate into a meal:
Whats awesome about this pizza is that you can adjust the macros based on what you need too. Need more protein? Add more egg whites? Need less? Add less egg whites? Need more or less fat? Adjust the amount and type of cheese you use. Need more carbs, load that baby up with toppings!
Favorite ways to eat:
- Having a couple of slices alongside a huge salad
- Having some paired with your pasta dish, like a garlic bread
- Cutting up into croton sized pieces, air frying, and topping them on a salad.
- Eating with some form of protein (baked chicken, shredded chicken, pork chop, etc.) and/or some veggies. The classic way!

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!
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!

OMG! any kind of cheesy bread is my weakness, I must try. Sounds so delicious and super easy!!! 😍
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!
