Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Whole Wheat Pizza Crust: This crust adds fiber to your meal. If you can’t find a whole wheat option, a thin pizza crust or even a tortilla works great. For gluten-free diets, try a gluten-free pizza crust or cauliflower crust.
Eggs: Eggs are protein-packed and give the pizza a great base. You can substitute egg whites for a lower-calorie option, or use tofu scramble for a plant-based alternative.
Reduced-Fat Mozzarella Cheese: This cheese melts nicely and keeps the calories down. If you’re vegan, opt for dairy-free cheese shreds. Nutritional yeast can also add a cheesy flavor while being dairy-free.
Veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, and tomatoes add vitamins and color. Feel free to mix in other veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or artichokes based on what you have or prefer!
How Do You Ensure Your Eggs Are Fluffy and Delicious?
Scrambling the eggs perfectly is key for this pizza. Start by whisking the eggs and milk together until well combined. This adds air, which helps create fluffiness when cooked.
- Heat your skillet on medium before adding the eggs to ensure they cook evenly.
- Stir gently with a spatula while they cook to keep them fluffy. Stop cooking when they’re still slightly soft, as they will continue to firm up after removing from heat.
These tips will help your scrambled eggs be a tasty topping for your breakfast pizza. Enjoy your healthy morning! 🌞

This Healthy Breakfast Pizza takes about 10 minutes to prep and around 12 minutes to bake, making it ready in just about 22 minutes. Perfect for busy mornings! Just mix, top, and pop it in the oven!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your pizza cooks perfectly and the cheese gets nice and melty!
2. Whisk the Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. This will give your pizza a creamy and delicious base.

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently using a spatula until they are cooked but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Prepare the Pizza Crust:
Place your whole wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Lightly brush the crust with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to help it crisp up in the oven.
5. Add the Egg Base:
Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the crust, creating a delicious foundation for your toppings.
6. Top with Fresh Veggies:
Evenly distribute diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, sliced cherry tomatoes, and red onions on top of the scrambled eggs. This adds flavor, texture, and lots of nutrients!
7. Sprinkle on the Cheese:
Sprinkle the reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the top of the vegetables. This will melt beautifully in the oven!
8. Bake the Pizza:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Your kitchen will smell amazing!

FAQ for Healthy Breakfast Pizza
Can I Use Different Cheese in This Recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute reduced-fat mozzarella with any cheese you prefer. Cheddar, feta, or vegan cheese are great alternatives. Just keep in mind that different cheeses may melt differently or alter the flavor slightly!
What If I Don’t Have Whole Wheat Pizza Crust?
No problem! You can use any type of pizza crust you have on hand, such as a regular pizza crust, a gluten-free crust, or even a tortilla for a thinner option. You can also make a cauliflower crust for a low-carb alternative!
How Can I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave until warmed through. If reheating in the oven, consider covering it with foil to keep the crust from getting too crispy.
Can I Add More Vegetables?
Definitely! Feel free to add any veggies you like. Mushrooms, zucchini, or even broccoli would all work well. Just be sure to chop them small enough for even cooking!
