Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large Flour Tortilla (Substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free if needed)
Egg Mixture
- 2-3 Eggs (Aim for a soft scrambled texture)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Butter (Opt for unsalted butter for better control of seasoning)
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste (Fundamental seasonings)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
- Bacon or Sausage to taste (Cooked and crumbled, substitute with turkey bacon for a lighter option)
- Optional: Bell Peppers and Onions (Brings color and crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 2-3 eggs with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Stir gently to create soft scrambled eggs, cooking until just set but still moist.
- Cook the meat and veggies: In the same or separate skillet, cook bacon or sausage until crisp and crumble it. If using, sauté diced bell peppers and onions until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Assemble the tortilla: Place the flour tortilla on a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Layer the cooked scrambled eggs evenly over the tortilla, followed by the cooked bacon or sausage and optional vegetables. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Melt the cheese and crisp the base: Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla base becomes crisp and golden underneath.
- Serve: Carefully remove the breakfast pizza from the skillet, slice into 2 large or 4 smaller slices, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs.
- For a lighter option, substitute turkey bacon for regular bacon.
- Adjust cooked meat and vegetables according to preference or omit to make vegetarian.
- Soft scrambled eggs ensure a creamy texture that complements the crispy tortilla base.
- Serve with hot sauce or salsa for added flavor.
