Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (low carb or gluten-free option recommended)
- 3 tablespoons shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
- 1/3 cup ground sausage (turkey sausage or cooked bacon can be used)
- 2 large eggs (scrambled)
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheesy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional Toppings: Diced bell peppers, fresh herbs, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Whisk the two large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
- Lay the flour tortilla flat on a baking sheet and spread the cottage cheesy sauce over it, followed by the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Add any extra toppings like diced bell peppers or fresh herbs.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla edges are crispy.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
For a crunchier base, toast the tortilla in a dry skillet before assembling the pizza. Keep an eye on toppings while baking to prevent burning.
