Ingredients

Breakfast Pizza

  • 1 large flour tortilla (low carb or gluten-free)
  • 3 tbsp shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
  • 1/3 cup ground sausage (turkey sausage preferred)
  • 2 large eggs, scrambled
  • 2 tablespoons cottage cheese cheesy sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or salsa
  • Fresh herbs such as chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Cottage Cheesy Sauce

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (regular or low fat)
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Blend the sauce: Add the cottage cheese and nutritional yeast to a blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth, creating a cheesy sauce perfect for spreading on your pizza.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking your breakfast pizza to crispy, melty perfection.
  3. Cook eggs and sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until fully cooked and then cook the ground turkey sausage until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Set both aside.
  4. Prepare the tortilla base: Lay the large tortilla flat on a baking sheet or pizza stone to form the base of your pizza.
  5. Add the cheesy sauce: Spread the blended cottage cheesy sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge to prevent spills.
  6. Add eggs, sausage, and toppings: Scatter the scrambled eggs evenly over the sauce, then distribute the cooked sausage on top. Add any optional vegetables like diced bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes for added flavor and texture.
  7. Top with shredded cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over all the toppings.
  8. Bake the pizza: Place the baking sheet or pizza stone in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the tortilla are golden and crispy.
  9. Alternative cooking method – Air Fryer: Instead of baking, you can cook the pizza in an air fryer at 375°F for 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla edges become crisp.
  10. Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven or air fryer, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, slice, and enjoy your high protein breakfast!

Notes

  • Use a low carb or gluten-free tortilla to keep the recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive or low-carb diets.
  • Leftover cottage cheesy sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week for future use.
  • Customize your toppings with fresh vegetables or salsa to add extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven or air fryer model—keep an eye on the pizza to avoid overcooking.
