How to Make My Breakfast Pizza Tortilla Recipe
Here are easy, detailed, step-by-step instructions for making my easy breakfast pizza. The instructions are also repeated in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
Step 1: Assemble the Pizza
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the corn tortilla on the baking sheet and spread pizza sauce evenly over the top, keeping it within ¼ inch of the edge.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, building it slightly denser around the edges to contain the egg.
Add your cooked turkey sausage or meat of choice on top of the cheese.
Crack an egg in the center of the tortilla, keeping the yolk intact. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Bake the Tortilla Pizza
Bake for 8-10 minutes for a runny yolk or 10-12 minutes for a firmer yolk. For extra crispiness, place the tortilla directly on the oven rack during the final 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Expert Recipe Tips
For a firmer egg: Bake the pizza for an additional 2 minutes until the yolk is cooked through.
Crispier tortilla: Place the tortilla directly on the oven rack for a crispier base.
Pizza slicing: Slice it like a traditional pizza or fold it in half and eat it taco-style.
Melty cheese: Buy block cheese and shred it yourself for the best melt. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect melting.
Delicious Serving Suggestions
- Breakfast Wrap: Roll it up with grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, and green onion for a portable breakfast.
- Side of Veggies: Pair with sliced red bell peppers, mushrooms, or a small side salad for extra nutrients.
- Add Heat: Top with red onion, bacon, and a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Cheesy Twist: Try Colby jack or alfredo sauce for a creamy variation.
- Tropical Twist: Add pineapple for a sweet-and-savory combination.
- BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizza: Use BBQ sauce and top with red onions and cooked chicken for a smoky flavor.
