  • 28 grams cheese
  • 6 cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 tablespoon spicy chili crisp
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat the oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the flour tortilla in the pan and spread the basil pesto evenly over it.

  3. Step 3: Cook for 2–3 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking. Season with salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and drizzle the spicy chili crisp before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping if desired.
  • Swap basil pesto for sun-dried tomato spread or salsa for different flavor profiles.
  • Add cooked bacon or sausage for extra protein.
  • For a crispier base, toast the tortilla for a minute before adding toppings.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to maintain texture. Eggs are best enjoyed fresh, so it’s recommended to eat this breakfast pizza right away when possible.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes, whole wheat or corn tortillas can be used, but cooking times may vary slightly due to thickness and moisture content.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian or vegan?

For a vegetarian version, this recipe already fits as it contains no meat. To make it vegan, substitute the eggs with tofu scramble, use vegan cheese, and ensure the pesto is dairy-free.

Description

A quick and flavorful tortilla breakfast pizza featuring a crispy base topped with basil pesto, fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked eggs, finished with a spicy chili crisp kick. Perfect for a nutritious and satisfying morning meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Toppings and Base

  • 1 Flour Tortilla
  • 1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
  • 28 grams Cheese (such as mozzarella or your choice)
  • 6 Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Spinach

Egg and Flavorings

  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (olive or vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Spicy Chili Crisp
  • Salt, to taste
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan and Tortilla: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the flour tortilla on top and evenly spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto over the surface to create a flavorful base.
  2. Add Toppings and Eggs: Sprinkle 28 grams of cheese evenly over the pesto-covered tortilla. Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach on top. Crack 2 large eggs gently onto the tortilla, spacing them to avoid breaking the yolks.
  3. Cook Until Eggs Are Done: Allow the tortilla to cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the eggs reach your desired doneness and the cheese starts melting. You can cover the pan loosely with a lid to help the eggs cook through without flipping.
  4. Season and Serve: Sprinkle salt and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of spicy chili crisp over the pizza for an extra layer of heat and crunch. Serve immediately for a warm, delicious breakfast pizza.

Notes

  • You can substitute the flour tortilla with a gluten-free version if desired.
  • Any melting cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack works well.
  • Adjust the amount of chili crisp and red pepper flakes according to preferred spice level.
  • For a runny yolk, reduce the cooking time slightly; for firmer eggs, cook longer or cover the pan.
  • Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley on top before serving adds freshness.
