A quick, protein-packed breakfast pizza with a crispy tortilla base, cottage cheese, egg, and customizable toppings.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 (6-8 inch) small flour tortillas or flatbreads

4 large eggs

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper

1/4 cup baby spinach

1/4 cup cooked bacon or ham (crumbled/diced)

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

Olive oil spray

Fresh chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray or line with parchment paper.

2. Lay tortillas flat on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, pre-toast for 2-3 minutes for extra crispness.

3. Spread about 1/4 cup cottage cheese over each tortilla, leaving a small border.

4. Sprinkle chopped bell pepper, baby spinach, and cooked meat over the cottage cheese.

5. Carefully crack one egg onto the center of each pizza (or scramble eggs and divide).

6. Season each pizza with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the toppings.

7. Bake for 10-15 minutes until egg whites are set, yolk is desired doneness, and cheese is bubbly.

8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a crispier base, pre-toast tortillas. Full-fat cottage cheese provides creamier texture. Customize with any vegetables, proteins, or seasonings. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best crispness.
