In college my idea of the perfect breakfast was cold pizza, and every pizza had to have pepperoni and black olives. So I guess it’s not surprising that when the idea for Egg-Crust Keto Breakfast Pizza popped into my mind a few years ago, it had to be pepperoni and olive breakfast pizza.
And through the years I have enjoyed this quick breakfast idea so much that I’m featuring it as my Friday Favorites pick for this week. I love making this for a quick low-carb breakfast that’s loaded with flavor. If anyone else out there has been a long-time fan of pizza for breakfast, I hope you’ll give this idea a try!

And he best thing about this breakfast pizza is definitely the pizza flavors but the fact that this can be on the table in 20 minutes (or maybe even a little less) makes it even better; enjoy!

How to Make Egg-Crust Keto Breakfast Pizza:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- Beat two eggs until they’re well mixed.
- Get your seasonings ready. (And don’t you love my well-used spice jars? I keep my spices in drawers so they need labels on the top.)
- For this breakfast pizza I used thinly sliced grape tomatoes, thinly sliced black olives, pepperoni cut in half, and cubes of mozzarella.
- Heat some olive oil in an 8 inch non-stick omelet pan over medium heat.
- I used an 8 inch non-stick omelet pan (affiliate link) which was the perfect size!
- Add the egg, season with Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) and Dried Oregano (affiliate link), and cook until eggs are about half set.
- Then add half the tomatoes, pepperoni, olives, and mozzarella, followed by another layer of the four ingredients.
- Be sure to end with cheese so there’s some cheese on the top. (When I didn’t layer the ingredients, the heavier things sunk to the bottom.)
- Cover the pan and cook 3-4 minutes, until eggs are not quite completely set.
- The next photo is how it looked when I put it under the broiler, followed by the after shot. This was about 4 minutes in my toaster-oven broiler, but probably less time in a large oven broiler.
- Delicious! And almost as good as cold pizza for breakfast!

Notes
I used an 8 inch non-stick omelet pan (affiliate link) which I love! You’ll need an 8-inch nonstick pan to make a breakfast pizza that looks like mine. (When I used a bigger pan, I didn’t like it as well with more egg.)

Thanks for putting this recipe to the forefront. I’m Pinning it for an easy Sunday breakfast!
So glad you like it! I assume you saw that there is a vegetarian version too?
This recipe looks great. It has everything in it that I like, so it must be tasty. I will try it out this weekend. I too label my spice jars that way since they are in a drawer. The link for the fry pan takes you to a 12” pan…not the 8”. Were you aware of that?
Hope you enjoy trying it. My spices are in a drawer too (at least some of them!)
Thanks for telling me about the link. I hate it when Amazon changes link destinations like that. And when I checked it looks like the Calphalon 8-inch Omelet Pan that I love so much is a lot more expensive now. What matters is that it’s an 8-inch pan, so I linked to a page with some choices in the brand so people can choose the pan that fits their budget.
what a great recipe, Kalyn! saving this for very soon!
Thanks Sally; so glad you like it!
Hello, how do you combine two different types of recipes? I need no carb, no sugar, meatless recipes. Your recipes seem to meet my needs closer than others. Thank you.
I don’t think there are many recipes that can be called “no carb.” But most of my recipes don’t have sugar and if you scroll through the category for Low-Carb Recipes and look for the ones that are meatless there should be some that will work for you.
YUM, my family & I will LOVE this! We’re SO busy, and we’re all going in different directions every morning, so we don’t have the time for a leisurely breakfast during the week. Many times, I make a (clean-out-the-fridge) Frittata for dinner on Thursday evenings, and we always enjoy it. I’ll definitely try out this recipe in the near future, but I’ll have to substitute Canadian Bacon (ea. slice cut into 4ths) for the Pepperoni, since (even though we’re Italian) none of us care for it. As a matter of fact, even Genoa salami might work well in this dish. Thanks for a lovely recipe, and another great idea.
Angelina, so glad you like the idea; hope you enjoy!
I used Canadian bacon because it was what I had on hand and it was yummy. Didn’t have grape tomatoes so I diced up part of a Roma tomato I had.
That sounds good to me!
OK, you sold me. I’m going to try this. I can’t decide if I should wait until I have pepperoni or give it a go without. Decisions, decisions…
Normally pepperoni is a pizza must for me, but I did like the vegetarian version of this! Hope you enjoy.
I really like this recipe. Scrambled eggs with cheese gets really old after 3 days. I used turkey bacon because it is what I had on hand. Will definitely be using this recipe as a base for many breakfasts. Thanks so much!
Thanks; so glad you like it!
Thanks Jessica, hope you enjoy!
This looks so good… I can't wait to try it when my family eats their regular pizzas! I love pizza, but unfortunately, the doughy crust doesn't love me. This is the perfect compromise!
Lisa, so glad everyone enjoyed it!
Hey! Finally a Paleoesque recipe I can get into. Not only was it delicious, but even the kids liked it! Thanks so much for sharing.
This turned out beautifully – I'll use this recipe again! I threw in a little baby spinach to get some greens in too.
Sally, so glad you enjoyed it!
Ahh! This was lovely! I changed it a bit to make it more pizza-y.
I added tomato sauce, I mixed about a tablespoon in with the eggs along with italian seasoning, then put the rest of the serving on top of the toppings before I added the cheese.
I don't have a pan to put into a broiler, so I finished it off in the microwave, which worked pretty well, the cheese was still gooey.
Will DEFINITELY to this again!
Hey Kaylyn
I love this idea! Although I am not a fan of Pizzas, I know my husband will love this delicious spin on Eggs and Cheese 😉
Thank you so much #HUGSSS
Kitto
So glad you liked it, and I love the addition of red pepper!
I made this again today and it is DELICIOUS!! I made a couple of small changes: switched out half the whole eggs for eggwhites and added 1/2 red pepper, chopped. It's definitely a keeper and will be served to our next overnight guests! Thank you, Kalyn!!
Thanks Sally, and Happy New Year to you too!
Great idea for a breakfast, or in my case, a light lunch, which I prefer…
Happy New Year!
Thanks Matthew!
Looks and sounds fantastic, thanks for sharing!
Your pizza looks so yummy! This weekend I am going to try this for my kids. Thank you for the recipe, Kalyn!
Thanks Donna. I can testify that this was definitely not boring!
Omlets now seem boring – I can't think of any better way to start the day than eggs in pizza form!
Barbara, my pleasure and glad you like this idea.
A great way to change up breakfast. Thanks for the link love.
Thanks Pam!
Shirley, I am all about the melted cheese, loved how it got kind of browned under the broiler.
I've made what I called a pizza omelet before, which is pretty similar. It's thin like yours. 🙂 I absolutely loved it. I like the idea of putting the pizza under the broiler at the end. Will have to be sure to make my next "pizza in my cast iron skillet so I can put it under the broiler. 😉 Thanks, Kalyn!
Shirley
This sounds amazing Kalyn!
Thanks Jerry. To me a frittata is thicker. I tried some thicker ones but I liked this better!
To me it reads more frittata than it does "pizza", but it still looks amazing! I'm going to have to try this with a Southwest spin on it, maybe with chorizo, salsa and queso fresco. Any way you name it though, it looks amazing!
Jeannette, I have to remember that when my nephews sleep over!
What a fun idea for breakfast Kalyn! I'd make a funny face using the ingredients for my son just for kicks.
Lydia, I like the idea of making breakfast more fun!
I make dishes like this all the time, but never thought of them as pizza! That makes breakfast sound like so much more fun.
