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 Filling: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green pepper, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the diced ham and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the ham and vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through but still moist, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Tortilla Base: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush each tortilla or whole wheat pita with olive oil on both sides. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas: Evenly distribute the scrambled egg mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly on top of the eggs.
- Bake the Pizzas: Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are crisp at the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute ham with cooked bacon or sausage for variation.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your taste preference or omit for a milder flavor.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add more vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs during scrambling to keep them moist and tender.
