Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza: A Deliciously Quick Start to Your Day

In the realm of breakfast foods, few items can compete with the versatility and sheer delight of a pizza. But what if you could combine the traditional elements of a British breakfast with the convenience of an air fryer? Introducing the Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza—a simple yet scrumptious way to kick-start your day with a tasty and hearty meal!

The Concept

The idea behind breakfast pizza is wonderfully straightforward: take all your favourite breakfast ingredients, layer them onto a base—whether that be a traditional pizza dough, a tortilla, or even a bagel—and air fry until perfectly cooked. The result? A crispy, flavourful pizza that’s ready in a fraction of the time of conventional methods. Plus, the air fryer gives you that satisfying crisp without the need for excessive oil.

Ingredients

To make a delicious Air Fryer Breakfast Pizza, you’ll need the following ingredients (serves two):

• Base:

  • 2 large flatbreads, naan, or a 10-inch pizza base

• Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup of tomato passata or your favourite pizza sauce
• Toppings:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or vegetarian alternative)
  • 50g crispy bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 50g mushrooms, sliced
  • 50g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 100g grated cheese (cheddar or a blend of your choosing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Start by preheating your air fryer to 190°C (375°F). While it’s heating up, lay your flatbreads on a clean surface and spread the tomato passata evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 2: Add Your Toppings

Now, it’s time to get creative with toppings. Begin by adding the sausage and bacon (if using) evenly across the base. Follow this with the sliced mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes. Finally, crack an egg into the centre of each flatbread; you can either leave it whole or gently break the yolk, depending on your preference for how runny you like your eggs. Sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the top, ensuring that all the ingredients are well covered.

Step 3: Air Frying

Carefully place the completed breakfast pizzas into the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggs are cooked to your liking. Keep an eye on them as cooking times can vary based on the model of air fryer you have.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, carefully remove the breakfast pizzas from the air fryer (they will be hot!) and season with a little salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, slice, and serve immediately.

Customisation Options

One of the best aspects of breakfast pizza is its adaptability. You can easily swap out ingredients based on your taste preferences or what you have available. Try including:

• Spinach or kale for an extra boost of greens
• Feta or goat cheese for a tangy twist
• Avocado slices for creaminess
• Different meats, such as ham or chorizo

Whether you’re serving it for a weekend brunch or a busy weekday breakfast, this dish is sure to impress both family and friends alike. So grab your air fryer and get cooking—deliciousness awaits!
