What is egg pizza?

Egg pizza is a playful spin on traditional pizza, but instead of dough, you use eggs to create a golden, fluffy base. The eggs are whisked with seasonings and veggies, cooked in a skillet, topped with cheese, then flipped to form a crispy top that looks like pizza!

Is egg pizza healthy?

As a registered dietitian, I love recipes that deliver a balance of nutrition and flavor. This egg pizza delivers just that with a perfect combo of nutrient-packed ingredients:

  • Eggs are a great source of complete protein and contain choline, a nutrient that supports brain health and cell function. Research shows that eating eggs can increase satiety and support muscle maintenance, making them a satisfying base for this recipe.
  • Vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, and spinach add fiber, antioxidants, and key vitamins like vitamin C  to support immunity and skin health. 
  • Cheese offers calcium and additional protein, and can include heart-healthy fats depending on your choice.

What ingredients do you need?

Here’s what makes this egg pizza both simple and satisfying:

  • 4 eggs – The protein-rich base of the dish.
  • 1–2 teaspoons seasonings of your choice – Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or a spicy blend for a little kick.
  • 1 teaspoon butter or oil – Helps create a non-stick surface and a crisp edge.
  • 1/2 cup diced vegetables – Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions, or a mix.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese of your choice – Mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack all melt beautifully.

Feel free to mix up the veggies: Try zucchini, kale, or even leftover roasted veggies to change it up.

Feel free to mix up the cheese: Any melty cheese works! Monterey jack for mild flavor, gouda for smokiness, or even goat cheese for tang.

How do you make egg pizza?

This recipe is super simple—just a few steps and one pan!

  1. Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, seasonings, and diced vegetables until combined.
  2. Heat the skillet: Add butter or oil to a nonstick 8–10 inch skillet over medium heat.
  3. Cook the base: Pour in the egg mixture and spread into a round “pizza” shape. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is mostly set.
  4. Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover or cook uncovered for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  5. Flip it: Using a large spatula, carefully flip the egg pizza and cook for another 1–2 minutes to crisp the cheesy side.
  6. Slice and serve: Flip back, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into wedges. Enjoy immediately!

Customize it your way

Like all of my recipes, this egg pizza is completely customizable. Choose your favorite veggies, cheeses, and seasonings to match your mood.

  • Protein of your choice: Want to bulk it up? Add chopped turkey bacon, cooked sausage crumbles, or even smoked salmon before flipping.
  • Veggies of your choice: Bell peppers and onions are classic, but you can mix in shredded zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms. Or all of the above!
  • Cheese of your choice: Mozzarella for melty goodness, cheddar for sharpness, or feta for a salty tang.
  • Sauce of your choice (optional): Add a drizzle of pesto, dollop of marinara, or hot sauce after cooking for a flavor boost.

Recipe tips and tricks

  • Serving: Slice into 4 wedges and serve warm with a side salad or fruit for a balanced meal.
  • Troubleshooting: If flipping feels tricky, try using two spatulas or flipping onto a plate, then sliding it back into the pan.
  • Scaling: Cooking for a crowd? Make multiple small egg pizzas or scale up and bake a larger one in an oven-safe skillet.

Meal prep and storage

While egg pizza is best fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving. 

Pro tip: prep the veggie and egg mixture the night before, then just pour into a hot skillet for a hearty breakfast ready in under 10!
