Ingredients

4 pita rounds
4 teaspoons olive oil
4 teaspoons pesto sauce
4 eggs , divided and beaten
coarse salt and pepper
1 & 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup small diced red onion
1/2 cup small diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon
1 scallion , diced
red pepper flakes

Instructions

With a pastry brush spread 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon pesto sauce onto each pita bread, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Then slowly pour 1 beaten egg on top in the middle. Season with just a pinch of salt and a couple turns of fresh cracked pepper.
Evenly distribute the cheese, onion, bell pepper, bacon, and scallion on top of the egg among the 4 pita rounds.
Transfer 1 pita at a time to the air fryer basket.
Air fry 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.)
Right out of the air fryer, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
Repeat with the remaining 3 pita rounds. Cut into wedges and serve.

Notes

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. 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!
