Ingredients
Scale
- 1 piece of Naan bread or a small pre-made pizza crust
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons pre-cooked sausage crumbles or chopped bacon
- 1 tablespoon diced bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon chopped green onions
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Let it run for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the basket is hot before you add your pizza. This helps the crust get crispy immediately.
- Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Base: Place the Naan bread or pizza crust on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the bread, leaving a small circular space in the very center. This “well” will help keep the egg from sliding off the edge.
- Step 3: Add Toppings: Distribute the pre-cooked sausage or bacon and the diced bell peppers over the cheese. Be careful not to pile the toppings too high, as you want the air to circulate properly around the ingredients.
- Step 4: Add the Egg: Carefully crack the egg into the center well you created with the cheese and toppings. Season the egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the remaining cheese around the edges of the egg to help lock it in place.
- Step 5: Air Fry to Perfection: Place the pizza into the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes. Check at the 6-minute mark; the egg white should be opaque and set, while the yolk should still be slightly soft. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, leave it in for the full 8 minutes.
- Step 6: Garnish and Cool: Carefully remove the pizza from the basket using a spatula. Top with fresh green onions and optional red pepper flakes. Let it rest for one minute before slicing so the cheese can set.
