How to Make Keto Breakfast Pizza
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons keto Italian sausage (or 1 link of breakfast sausage with casing removed)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon red onion (chopped)
- 2 large mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 large eggs
- Pink salt
- Cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon tomato sauce with basil
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- Parmesan cheese (grated)
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
Directions
- Cook the sausage over medium-high heat until there is no pink color left, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- While the sausage is cooking, chop the veggies.
- Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate.
- Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan and sauté the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until they are soft, about 3 minutes. Remove these vegetables from the pan and set them with the sausage.
- Reduce the heat to low and wipe out the pan.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and add salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. When the butter has melted, pour the eggs into the pan. Swirl the pan so the eggs spread evenly.
- Cook the eggs until the bottom is firm. You will see the edges firming up.
- Remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a plate, and flip the egg layer onto the plate. Carefully slide the eggs back into the pan. Turn off the heat. The bottom of the "pizza" will keep cooking.
- Spread the tomato sauce over the eggs, then add the shredded cheese, cooked sausage, mushrooms, onions, and garlic on top. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt.
- Gently slide the pizza onto your plate.
- Finish off with grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley if desired.

Serve your Keto Breakfast Pizza warm for a delicious start to the day. Cut it into slices just like a regular pizza and enjoy it with your morning coffee or tea. You can also serve it with sides like avocado or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
How to Store Keto Breakfast Pizza
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for about 2-3 days. When you’re ready to eat it again, you can reheat slices in a frying pan or microwave until warmed through.
Tips to Make Keto Breakfast Pizza
- Use your favorite low-carb toppings to customize your pizza such as bell peppers or spinach.
- Adjust the cooking time based on how you like your eggs—more runny or fully cooked.
- Experiment with different cheeses for added flavor, such as cheddar or feta.
Variation
You can make a veggie version by omitting the sausage and adding more sautéed vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers. This keeps the pizza low-carb and packed with nutrients.
