    Hearty breakfasts are one of my favourite things, especially on Saturday mornings when I have plenty of time to sit back with multiple cups of coffee in my pyjamas.

    Aside from my pop’s western sandwich recipe and my scrambled egg breakfast sandwich, this 2 egg omelette is in high rotation.

    Growing up, pizza omelette is something my dad would make for my brother and me on Saturday or Sunday for breakfast.

    Guess it was his sneaky little way of getting us to eat something hearty.

    I mean, throw the word “pizza” at anything and right away it makes it more appealing, am I right?

    I do enjoy pizza and pizza flavoured foods. Remember way back when I shared a pizza grilled cheese sandwich? Talk about good!

    This omelette is made simply, with eggs (of course) and a little green pepper, pizza sauce and cheese.

    And if you want to make things ultra substantial, especially on a lazy ease-into-the-morning brunch, serve with some skillet potatoes!

    Why We Love This Pizza Omelette

    • It’s a fun twist on an omelette (and pizza).
    • Its made in about 15 minutes.
    • The recipe serves one, but you can easily make more (while keeping your omelettes warm in the oven).
    • These pizza omelettes are totally customizable with toppings.
    • Of course, it tastes super yummy!

    How To Make This Omelette

    Full details on how to make this pizza omelette are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

    1. In a non-stick frying pan, cook some green pepper in a little olive oil to soften, then remove from the pan.
    2. In a bowl, beat eggs with a little milk, salt and pepper.
    3. Melt butter in the pan. Once melted, pour in the whisked egg mixture. Gently swirl the eggs around the pan and as they set, loosen the edges with a spatula.
    4. Once the eggs are almost cooked (but not quite), add shredded mozzarella to one half of the egg mixture.
    5. Then pour over pizza sauce, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes and cooked green pepper.
    6. Fold over the omelette and cook another little bit until the egg is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

    What’s the Best Pan for an Omelette?

    A small non-stick frying pan works best here.

    For a two-egg omelette, use a small pan, about 8 inches in diameter. You want a pan that’s not too large (so the eggs spread out too much).

    Tips and Variations

    • This is an omelette for one. However, you can easily make more. Just keep your omelettes warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven while you are preparing the others.
    • Store-bought pizza sauce was used for this omelette, but you can make your own, should you wish. Just keep in mind that the store-bought stuff may be a little thicker.
    • Use whatever bell pepper colour you like.
    • If you like, you can totally throw in some crispy salami or pepperoni into the omelette filling!

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 3 tablespoons diced green bell pepper (small dice)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1.5 tablespoons milk
    • pinch salt
    • pinch freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon butter
    • 1 to 1.5 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 4 to 6 tablespoons or ¼ cup)
    • 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
    • pinch dried basil
    • pinch teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • Chopped or torn fresh basil leaves, garnish to taste (optional)

    Instructions

    • Heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan (about 8-inches in diameter) over medium-low heat.
    • Add bell pepper and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside for use shortly.
    • Whisk eggs with milk, salt and black pepper in a bowl.
    • Add butter to pan and, once melted, pour in egg mixture.
    • As the egg starts to set around the edges, gently use a silicone spatula to release and gently swirl the uncooked egg around so it flows around and underneath itself. Continue doing this until the egg is almost cooked.
    • Once the egg is almost cooked, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over one half of the egg Top cheese with pizza sauce, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes and sautéed bell pepper.
    • Fold over the egg so it's a half-moon shape and cook for just another minute or so or until the egg is cooked and cheese has melted.
    • Carefully slide the omelette out of the pan and onto a plate, then garnish with basil (if using). Serve and enjoy. It's great with toast!

    Notes

    • This is an omelette for one. However, you can easily make more. Just keep your omelettes warm in a 200 Fahrenheit oven while you are preparing the others.
    • Store-bought pizza sauce was used for this omelette, but you can make your own, should you wish.

      Ever since my 14-yr-old became a vegetarian (about 2 months ago), I’ve been making him a ton of omelettes — dinner included. He will love this one! 🙂 ~Valentina

      Oh you are totally right – pizzafying is totally a real thing! I love omelettes. I love pizza. Clearly I would love this combination, too. I’m also seriously craving some good savory breakfast recipes right now. We just adopted 2 puppies yesterday. They’re adorable, but we didn’t get much sleep. The thought of a pizza omelette and a pot of coffee sounds pretty amazing right now! Hope you have a great weekend ahead, Dawn!

      Loving this idea! Omelettes are in high rotation here, as well, but I’ve never thought of doing a pizza version. Will be trying this 🙂
