Why It Works
  • The whole-wheat crust is made with a combination of flour, baking powder, and salt. This gives the crust a crispy texture and a slightly nutty flavor.
  • The toppings are fresh and flavorful. The sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet and tangy flavor, the olives add a salty and briny flavor, and the feta cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor.
  • The eggs are cooked until they are just set. This gives them a soft and fluffy texture.
