Start making the béchamel sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add ½ cup of all-purpose flour and whisk together for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux, which can be recognized by its slightly golden color.

Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg (if using). Remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, crack 6 large eggs and whisk them until fully combined. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs for seasoning.

On the pre-made pizza crust, spread a layer of the béchamel sauce evenly across the surface.

Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon (1 cup) over the béchamel layer, followed by the whisked eggs.
