Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp hot sauce

Vegetables & Protein

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (about 1 small)
  • 1 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced ham

Base & Toppings

  • 4 tortillas or whole wheat pitas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, Colby, or Mozzarella)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Chives, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables and ham: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the diced ham and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  2. Whisk the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Cook the scrambled eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and ham. Stir gently, cooking the eggs until softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the tortilla base: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas or whole wheat pitas with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the breakfast pizzas: Divide the scrambled egg mixture evenly over each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese evenly distributed on top.
  6. Bake until cheese melts and edges crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortilla edges are golden and crispy.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and optionally sprinkle with chopped chives for freshness. Slice into servings and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute tortillas with whole wheat pitas for a thicker crust option.
  • Use any melting cheese you prefer, such as mozzarella or cheddar, to suit your taste.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your spice preference or omit for a milder flavor.
  • For extra veggies, consider adding mushrooms or tomatoes to the sauté step.
  • Brush olive oil lightly to avoid soggy tortillas and ensure crispiness in the oven.
