Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper and coat lightly with cooking spray.
Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Pour in the egg whites and season with half the salt and pepper. Scramble for 2 minutes until just barely set and still slightly glossy. Remove from the heat and break into small curds. Done when set but still moist, 160°F.
Place both pitas side by side on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the marinara evenly over both pitas, leaving a small border. Bake for 2 minutes to ensure the crust stays crisp.
Remove the pan from the oven. Divide the scrambled egg whites between the pitas, pressing them lightly into the sauce. Scatter the torn mozzarella over the top of the eggs. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
Return the pan to the oven. Bake for 8 minutes until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly and the pita edges are golden brown.
Top both hot pizzas with the fresh torn basil before serving.
