Protein-packed morning bowl with eggs, chicken, vegetables, and melted mozzarella inspired by classic pizza flavors.

# What You Need:

→ Protein Base

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 4 oz cooked chicken breast, diced
03 - 2 oz turkey sausage, crumbled

→ Vegetables

04 - 1/2 small red bell pepper, diced
05 - 1/2 small onion, diced
06 - 2 oz baby spinach, chopped
07 - 4 cherry tomatoes, halved

→ Pizza Flavors

08 - 3 oz pizza sauce or marinara sauce
09 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
10 - 1/2 tsp dried basil
11 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder
12 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Cheese

13 - 2 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
14 - 1 oz grated Parmesan cheese

# Directions:

01 - Set your oven broiler to high heat to prepare for melting the cheese topping.
02 - Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook diced onion and red bell pepper for 2–3 minutes until softened.
03 - Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Add halved cherry tomatoes and toss to combine.
04 - Push vegetables to the skillet's side. Add diced chicken and turkey sausage; cook until heated through.
05 - Whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour over the skillet mixture. Stir gently until eggs just set, about 2–3 minutes.
06 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the egg mixture. Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and garlic powder.
07 - Distribute shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan uniformly across the surface.
08 - Transfer the oven-safe skillet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
09 - Carefully remove from oven. Let cool briefly before serving hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get all the satisfaction of pizza flavors without the heavy carb crash that typically follows breakfast pastries
  • The protein hit from eggs and chicken keeps you full straight through until lunch, no mid-morning snacking needed
02 -
  • Make sure your skillet is truly oven-safe before putting it under the broiler, or transfer everything to a broiler-safe dish first
  • The eggs continue cooking slightly under the broiler, so pull them from the stovetop when they look slightly underdone
03 -
  • If you're using a stainless steel skillet instead of non-stick, add a tiny splash of olive oil before the vegetables to prevent sticking
  • The broiler works fast and can go from bubbly to burned in seconds, so set a timer and don't walk away
