This High Protein Breakfast Pizza is gluten free, low carb, and is the perfect savory breakfast option. It comes together in one pan, has only five main ingredients, and is ready in just twenty minutes! If you’re running low on time in the morning, you can still fit a nourishing breakfast in with this recipe.
You guys loved my High Protein Quiche as much as I did so I was inspired to try a new recipe with the same idea but with changing some ingredients and having a different end result! For this breakfast, we’re using the same idea of having a burrito-sized tortilla as the crust, packing in protein with eggs and cottage cheese, but adding rich tomato sauce, shredded cheese, and any pizza toppings you want. It’s crispy, cheesy, and tastes just like pizza but with a high-protein twist! I love having this for breakfast when I’m craving something savory but you can have it any time of day for a quick, protein-filled meal 🙌
Why You’ll Love This Breakfast
- High protein – This breakfast is full of protein from the eggs, cottage cheese, and the pepperoni. With all of the protein, balanced with the healthy fats from the cheese, and carbs from the tortilla, you’ll stay fuller for longer. Perfect for a busy morning where you’ll need to stay full until lunch!
- Ready in minutes – What’s easier than mixing and baking everything in one dish? Less kitchen tools and ingredients used means the quicker you’ll get to enjoy this breakfast.
- Dietary friendly – Depending on the ingredients used this can be gluten free and dairy free!
What You’ll Need
- Burrito-sized tortilla – I use Siete Burrito tortillas because they hold together really well. If you’re looking for a gluten-free version of tortillas made with good, simple ingredients, you’ll want to give anything from Siete a try!
- Eggs
- Cottage cheese – I’m obsessed with this one from Good Culture.
- Mozzarella cheese – You can swap this for a dairy free version.
- Pepperoni – I love Applegate turkey pepperoni because it has a simple ingredient list with no additives.
- Sea salt
- Pepper
- Red pepper flakes – optional but I love the extra spice it gives.
How To Make
- Preheat oven to 350F and lightly spray a round pie dish (I used this one!)
- Place a burrito-sized tortilla in the dish. Add eggs, cottage cheese, and seasonings. Mix with a fork until fully combined. Top with shredded mozarella cheese, pepperoni, and other toppings you may be using!
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are firm in the middle and don’t move around in the pan.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!
Recommended Tools
- Round pie dish – I like this one.
- Pizza cutter – This is the pizza cutter I have and love!
