03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth.
04 - Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, creating a thin, uniform base covering the entire surface.
05 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, low-fat milk, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
06 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the dough base. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the eggs, then distribute turkey pepperoni slices across the top.
