Instructions
Assemble the breakfast pizzas
Preheat your oven to 385F or your air fryer to 350F.
Spray your baking sheets or air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place the tortillas on the baking sheets.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of sauce on each tortilla, taking care to get the sauce close to the edge, within ⅓ - ½ inch.
Sprinkle about ¼ cup shredded cheese on each tortilla, saving some for later.
Carefully crack an egg into the center of each tortilla. If you want the yolk to be fully cooked, break the yolk and spread it around a bit. Otherwise, leave the yolk whole.
Season each egg with salt and pepper. Add some more shredded cheese on top of each egg white and the sauce. Season the top of the pizzas with Italian seasoning, if using.
Oven instructions
Carefully place the two baking sheets into the oven. Bake at 385F for about 7-9 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. If your baking sheets don't fit on 1 oven rack, switch them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Watch closely during the last couple of minutes to make sure the tortilla edges are not turning too brown.
Allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and any other garnishes, slice into 4 pieces, and enjoy!
Air fryer instructions
Air fry one pizza at a time for 6 minutes at 350F, or until the egg is cooked to your liking. Keep an eye on the pizza during the last minute to see if it needs more or less time for the egg yolk, and to make sure the edges of the tortillas are not burning.
Allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh herbs and any other garnishes, slice into 4 pieces, and enjoy!
Notes
Topping ideas: Finely diced bell pepper, crumbled cooked bacon, finely diced cooked sausage or chorizo, small dollops of ricotta, crumbled feta, crumbled goat cheese, grape or cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered), diced ham, splash of hot sauce, sliced olives, thinly sliced onion, diced green onions / scallion. Recipe tips→ If you are using an extra large or jumbo egg, add 1-2 minutes of cook time to get the egg white to cook through. However, this might make your tortilla edges just a little too crispy and browned. → If you don't want a runny egg yolk, or want only a tiny bit of runny yolk, break the yolk with a fork or knife and spread it around a bit on the tortilla. It will cook through during the 7-9 minutes of baking time, or 6 minutes of air frying time.→ Be sure to assemble the pizzas right on the baking sheet or air fryer basket, so you don't have to transfer a wobbly tortilla with a liquid egg on top.→ All ovens and air fryers cook slightly differently, so keep an eye on the pizzas as they cook, and you might need to adjust the cook time. I promise that this recipe is WORTH experimenting with because once you get it down just right for your oven, it makes an AMAZING 10 minute breakfast or quick lunch!→ Nutrition facts are estimated for 1 pizza and will vary depending on the exact tortillas and ingredients you use.
