A hearty and nutritious breakfast pizza packed with flavor and protein, perfect for starting your day.


Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lay the large tortilla on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cottage cheese with nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to taste to create the cheesy sauce.
  3. Scramble the two large eggs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until just finished but slightly soft.
  4. Spread the cottage cheese sauce evenly over the tortilla, followed by the shredded cheese, ground sausage, and scrambled eggs.
  5. If using optional toppings like diced bell peppers or fresh herbs, sprinkle those on top.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then slice into wedges and enjoy hot!
