Ingredients Needed
To make this breakfast pita pizza, you will need the following ingredients:
- Pita Bread: Choose a low calorie pita bread to keep the calories low, wholewheat is a better choice for the higher fibre. A low calorie tortilla wrap is fine also.
- Eggs: fresh large eggs
- Spinach: just a small handful of fresh spinach for the healthy green.
- Tomatoes: fresh ripe tomatoes are best here.
- Cheese: I like to use a combination of mozzarella and cheddar on the breakfast pita pizza for the perfect melted cheese topping. However you can opt for any mix of any cheese you like.
- Salt and Pepper - These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.
- Low Calorie Spray - Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer olive oil or avocado sprays without any added emulsifiers.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

Variations on the Recipe
This versatile breakfast pizza can easily be tailored to suit your taste or dietary needs. Here are a few ideas to get creative with your morning meal:
- Swap the Base: While low-calorie pitta bread or tortilla wraps are great for keeping things light, feel free to experiment with different bases like toasted English Muffins or Sourdough bread
- Cheese Choices: The combination of mozzarella and cheddar is a classic, but why not try goat cheese for a tangy twist, or a sprinkle of feta for Mediterranean flair? Mixing and matching your cheeses can add a whole new dimension of flavour.
- Egg-cellent Options: If you're looking for a different texture, try scrambling the eggs before adding them to the pizza, or use egg whites for a lower-cholesterol option.
- Protein Punch: For those who like a bit more protein, adding cooked ham, crispy bacon, or even some crumbled sausage can turn this dish into a more filling meal. Just make sure to cook your chosen protein before adding it to your pizza.
- Veggie Delight: Sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms can add both flavor and nutrition to your breakfast pizza. Lightly sauté them before adding to ensure they're perfectly tender.
- Seasoning Switch-Up: Salt and pepper are staples, but don't be afraid to sprinkle on some chili flakes for heat, dried herbs for depth, or a dash of paprika for smokiness.
By incorporating these variations, you can keep your breakfast fresh and exciting. Whether you're in the mood for something light and veggie-packed or a heartier meal with added protein, there's a breakfast pizza variation that's sure to satisfy.
The Importance of a High-Protein Breakfast
Kicking off your day with a high-protein breakfast is like setting the right tone for a symphony. It's all about giving your body the fuel it needs to perform at its best. Here's why loading up on protein as you break your overnight fast is a game changer:
- Sustained Energy: Protein takes longer to digest, helping you stay energized and focused throughout the morning.
- Hunger Control: Feel fuller for longer and keep those mid-morning snack cravings at bay.
In short, a protein-packed start doesn't just rev up your metabolism; it also tunes up your body and brain for the day ahead. Let's make every breakfast count and power through our days with strength and vitality!
