2 healthy ways to have pizza for breakfast (or lunch or dinner)! This recipe is all the flavors of pizza on an egg crust so it’s 50% omelet / 50% pizza and 100% delicious.

You’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And you might have also heard that pizza night is the most important dinner of the week (anyone else do pizza night on a weekly basis?!). So I’ve combined two of my favorite things for a delicious and healthy meal any time of day!

 I made 2 versions of this Pizza Omelet! There’s the usual favorite pizza recipe with sauce and shredded cheese and a Margherita version with tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

I’m loving this dish because I don’t usually think of pizza as very healthy or light – but this pizza has an egg crust and low fat mozzarella cheese for protein AND can pack in as many vegetables as you want (or can fit on top).

I’m a big fan of starting the day with a good amount of protein and fat to keep me full until lunch. And I try to eat a protein packed breakfast because I workout in the morning and want a good combo of protein and carbs to refuel.

There are so many cheese options you can choose based on your macros or calorie needs. I used low fat mozzarella for the Original Pizza version and fresh whole milk mozzarella for the Margherita Breakfast Pizza.

Pizza Omelet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 egg whites
• splash Real California milk
• 1/2 tsp oregano & garlic powder (or Italian seasoning)
• salt & pepper to taste

Topping:

• 1/2 cup Real California Milk low fat mozzarella, shredded
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce
• veggies – your favorite pizza toppings

Directions: Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk and seasoning. Grease skillet with butter and place on medium heat. Add egg mix to skillet, cook and carefully flip so both sides are cooked through.

Remove from heat and top with pizza sauce, cheese and your favorite pizza toppings. Place under broiler for a couple minutes so cheese melts. Watch it carefully as it will melt quickly – it might just need 90 seconds depending on your broiler.

Serve immediately.
