Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza

Anyone who follows me regularly is aware my love for breakfast food knows no bounds. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dutch baby pancake with fruit and drenched in sweet syrup or a savory hash brown egg casserole with sausage, I am all in. Pair that with my devotion to pizza and now we’re talkin’ – Breakfast Pizza? Pizza for breakfast? Yes, please. It’s like toast taken to level 11. And it will definitely earn you points with the kids!

This breakfast pizza recipe is ultra easy using pita bread instead of pizza dough, so it’s prepared quicker and cooks faster. It’s also made in the air fryer resulting in a nice crispy base without needing to wait for the oven to preheat.

We include veggies, bacon, eggs, and cheese on our pita pizza, but it’s super versatile so everyone can customize their own, if preferred.

Ingredients Needed

Our breakfast pizza includes tried and true breakfast ingredients on top of a pita bread base. Here’s what you’ll need.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

• Pita bread rounds – We love this flat bread, which is soft and slightly chewy. It often features a pocket inside, but I leave the rounds unopened for this breakfast pizza. You could also use naan.
• Olive oil – Just a touch basted on the pita adds some moisture and helps the toppings adhere better.
• Pesto sauce – This adds a nutty, garlicky, herby, subtle salty flavor to the base of the pizza. You can use our homemade pesto sauce or store-bought. Or simply omit if you don’t like pesto, but I highly recommend using a bit.
• Eggs – You’ll need 1 beaten egg per pita pizza.
• Cheese – We love Monterey jack cheese for these pizzas, which is smooth and mild and compliments the other ingredients nicely.
• Vegetables – Finely diced red onion, red bell pepper, and scallions.
• Bacon – Cooked and crumbled bacon. For ease, real bacon bits work too.
• Seasoning – I add salt, pepper, and a little red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Recipe Variations

There are endless possibilities for these pita breakfast pizzas! Feel free to customize them with any of your favorite omelet ingredients. Here are a few ideas:

• Mushrooms
• Broccoli
• Tomatoes
• Hash browns (thawed if frozen)
• Cooked sausage or ham
• Other types of cheese
• Hot sauce

How to Make Breakfast Pizza

These fun pita pizzas are ready in under 15 minutes. Quick and easy, they’re perfect for a simple weekend breakfast or breakfast on the go. Here’s a summary.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

1. Prep the pita and add egg. Spread a bit of olive oil and pesto on each pita, leaving a little border around the edge. Then slowly pour 1 beaten egg on top in the middle. Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste.
2. Add the toppings. Evenly distribute the cheese, onion, bell pepper, bacon, and scallion on top of the egg.
3. Air fry. Transfer 1 pita at a time to the air fryer basket. Cook at 380F until the pita is crisp, cheese is melted and golden, and egg is cooked, about 4 minutes (adjust time, if needed to prevent the pita from over-browning.)
4. Serve. Right out of the air fryer, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip the oil. A little olive oil basted on each pita gives the toppings something to stick to so they don’t fall off.
• Careful adding the egg. As much as I love a runny fried egg, I prefer these breakfast pizzas using a beaten egg so they’re easily eaten on the go without any mess. When pouring the beaten egg on the pita, start in the middle and pour slowly so it doesn’t drip off the edges.
• Don’t overcook. Because the pita is already cooked and we’re using a beaten egg, not sunny side up, these breakfast pizzas only take a few minutes to cook in the air fryer. Watch that first one carefully and adjust the time and temperature with the remaining 3, if necessary. All air fryers are different.
• Prep some of the ingredients the night before. Chop the veggies, cook the bacon, shred the cheese. Store everything separately in sealed containers in the fridge. Breakfast pizza is a great way to use up last night’s dinner leftovers, too!

Serving Suggestions

These pita breakfast pizzas are a great portable breakfast if you need something on-the-go. If sitting down to breakfast or brunch and want a more complete meal, you can serve these with a fruit salad or a coffee banana smoothie.

Proper Storage

Pita breakfast pizzas should be served immediately, it’s not a make ahead meal or something that can sit for too long because the pita bread will get soggy. Leftover pizza can be stored tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer for best results.
