Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion, diced (about 1 small onion)
- 1 cup green pepper, diced
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
For the Base and Topping
- 4 tortillas or whole wheat pitas
- Olive oil (for brushing tortillas)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, Colby, or Mozzarella)
- Chives, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables and Ham: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green pepper and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce until completely blended and smooth.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the cooked vegetables and ham. Stir gently, cooking until the eggs are softly scrambled but still moist, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat once done.
- Prepare the Tortilla Base: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush each tortilla with olive oil on both sides, then place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly crisped and can hold toppings without becoming soggy.
- Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas: Remove the tortillas from the oven and evenly distribute the scrambled egg, ham, and vegetable mixture over each tortilla.
- Add Cheese and Bake Again: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly on top of the eggs and place the baking sheet back into the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, garnish with chopped chives if desired, slice, and serve warm for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- To make it vegetarian, omit the ham or substitute with a plant-based alternative.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier fiber option.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your preferred spice level or omit for a milder taste.
- Leftover pizzas can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster oven for best texture.
