Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 piece Pita Bread (Can substitute with naan or tortilla)
- 4 large Eggs (Use egg whites for a lighter option)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (Can swap with mozzarella or dairy-free cheese)
- 4 ounces Bacon or Sausage (Turkey bacon or plant-based sausage for lighter options)
- 1 cup Vegetables (e.g., spinach, bell peppers)
- 1/2 cup Salsa (Use homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking of your breakfast pizza.
- Scramble the Eggs: Whisk the eggs in a bowl and scramble them in a skillet over medium heat until just set, ensuring they remain fluffy and moist.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cheddar cheese evenly over the pita bread, layer the scrambled eggs on top, then add cooked bacon or sausage and your choice of vegetables.
- Air Fry the Pizza: Place the assembled pita pizza into the air fryer basket and cook for about 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil for Finish: Switch the air fryer to the broil setting and broil the pizza for an additional 30 to 60 seconds to achieve a golden and slightly crisp finish.
- Serve: Remove the pizza carefully from the air fryer, let it cool slightly, slice into portions, and serve hot with salsa on the side or drizzled on top.
