Have you ever had so many eggs on keto that you never wanted to eat, see, or smell another egg ever again? Well I have. Especially if I am aiming for a nearly no carb day and I’ve been doing my fair share of eggs. So how do I continue to stay the course and not get burned out on the incredible, mostly edible egg? Pizza eggs, of course!
I so badly wanted to put an exclamation point at the end of this recipe title because these little egg pizzas are that good! The base consists of some Italian herb seasoning mixed with mozzarella cheese and the whites of the eggs. The topping is made up of a thin layer of marinara sauce, followed by the yolk of the egg lightly scrambled with your favorite miniature pizza toppings! I have always been a black olive and mild pepper gal but you could use whatever toppings you like, chopped into small bits. Add more mozzarella and bake for a fun twist on your normal egg breakfast!
You can certainly make this in the oven if you want to double or triple the recipe for multiple people or you can make these in microwave safe dishes for something a bit quicker. The execution below uses a microwave to heat the egg base and the broiler setting on my oven to melt the cheese.
Yields 1 serving, 2 Mini Pizza Egg Bakes
The Preparation
- 4 tablespoons mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 3 large egg, seperated
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 whole black olives, sliced
- 1 medium banana peppers, cut into rings
- 1 tablespoon red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon low-carb tomato sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
The Execution
1. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese and the Italian herb seasoning into each microwave or oven safe dish.
2. Beat the egg whites gently just to make them easier to work with. Be careful not to beat them too long or they will become too frothy.
3. Pour the whipped egg whites into each container equally and microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes or until the whites are fully cooked. Allow to cool while you mix the yolks.
4. Beat the egg yolk and lightly scramble.
5. Fold the pizza toppings into the yolk and remove from heat.
6. Top the pizza bases with ½ tablespoon tomato sauce each.
7. Add scrambled egg yolk and the remaining mozzarella cheese and heat for 20 seconds in the microwave or broil in your oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot!

Mini Pizza Egg Bakes
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 3 large egg seperated
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 2 whole black olives sliced
- 1 medium banana peppers cut into rings
- 1 tablespoon red bell pepper diced
- 1 tablespoon low-carb tomato sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using 1/2 of the shredded mozzarella cheese and all of the Italian herb seasoning, divide equally and sprinkle into microwave or oven safe dishes. The rule of thumb here is for every individual dish you will use 1 1/2 eggs.
- Beat the egg whites gently just to make them easier to work with. Be careful not to beat them too long or they will become too frothy.
- Pour the whipped egg whites equally into each of the containers. (Again, 1 1/2 egg whites per container if using individual sized ramekins) Microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes or until the whites are fully cooked. Allow to cool while you scramble the yolks.
- Beat the egg yolks. Melt the olive oil in a pan and lightly scramble the yolks.
- Fold the pizza toppings into the yolk and remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Top the pizza bases with the tomato sauce, dividing equally.
- Top with scrambled egg yolk mix and the remaining mozzarella cheese divided equally and heat for 20 seconds in the microwave or broil in your oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot!
The pepper rings are mentioned in the ingredients but then disappear. Are they chopped into the yolks? Placed on top? What?
Step 5 says to remove egg yolks from heat, but previous directions haven’t placed them on heat.
A lot of work just to make an omelet.
I do like the setup and arrangement of the site. Easy to follow, attractive, and lots of good information.
Thank you for the kind words! The rings are folded into the egg alongside the olives and diced bell pepper. The pepper rings are just hotter peppers (usually smaller than bell peppers) that were sliced. They are used to add some heat to the recipe.
Step 4 mentions the cooking process (scramble is the term used to cook eggs). Definitely a little bit intensive for an omelet, but it gives a different taste and texture than a regular omelet would. You can definitely just mix all of the ingredients together and create an omelet if you want as well. We just wanted to try to have some different variations on eggs for when people get a bit tired of the same old thing. I hope you can understand!
Hi Craig,
I have been enjoying your recipes for awhile now, I purchased all of your ebooks when they were separate. I just wanted to thank you for creating new ways to enjoy eggs, as I’m not a creative cook, and get bored easily with the same things. I am not a huge red pepper fan, so although I did follow your recipe faithfully the first time, the second time, I took one mushroom, and a couple slices of pepperoni diced up and added it to the egg yolk. I have been a fan of the mozzarella based skillet pizza, so having this for breakfast is a treat, although I’m tempted to have it for lunch and dinner sometime as well!
Thank you for your long-time support. We should be bringing a lot of new recipes to the website soon so keep an eye out!
