Pizza Omelette {vegetarian omelette recipe}

Take a fun twist on an omelette recipe by making this cheesy pizza omelette! There’s diced green pepper, pizza sauce and plenty of melty mozzarella cheese! This vegetarian omelette is so good for an easy breakfast or even for lunch with a simple side salad.

Hey friends!

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 pjs.

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 I 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-fying’ things (is that even a thing, lol??). 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 herby skillet potatoes!

What’s the Best Pan for an Omelette?

A small non-stick pan works best here.

Opt for a small pan, about 6 inches in diametre. You want a pan that’s not too large (so the eggs spread out too much).

More Tips & Variations

If you don’t need this to be a vegetarian omelette, you can totally throw in some crispy salami or pepperoni into the mix if you prefer!

This is an omelette for one. However, you can easily make more. Just keep your omelettes warm in a 200 F oven while you are preparing the others.

Use whatever bell pepper colour you like!

Store-bought pizza sauce was used for this omelette, but you can make your own, should you wish, like this pizza sauce recipe. Just keep in mind that the store-bought stuff may be a little thicker.
