Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Pre-Cooking Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly brush each flatbread with olive oil or spread a thin layer of hummus or Greek yogurt.
Cooking Method
-
Sprinkle cheese lightly over the crust
-
Add vegetables evenly
-
Crack eggs directly on top or add soft scrambled eggs
-
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
Bake for 10–14 minutes, until egg whites are set and crust is crisp.
Doneness or Texture Check
Your breakfast pizza is ready when:
-
Egg whites are fully cooked
-
Yolks are set or slightly runny (your choice)
-
Crust is firm and golden on the edges
If the crust browns too fast, lower the rack or tent loosely with foil.
Resting or Final Touches
Let the pizza rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice. Finish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
