The Stuffed-Crust Tortilla Pizza

This isn’t your average pizza night. If you’re looking for a clever way to level up a basic flour tortilla, this Sausage-Stuffed Crispy Tortilla Pizza is the ultimate “why didn’t I think of that?” hack.

By folding hot dogs (or your favorite sausages) directly into the crust and filling the center with eggs and cheese, you get a hybrid between a breakfast galette and a stuffed-crust pizza. Here is how to make it.

The Stuffed-Crust Tortilla Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 Large Flour Tortilla (Burrito size works best)

• 3 Hot Dogs (or breakfast sausages/veggie links)

• 2 Eggs

• Handful of Cherry Tomatoes, halved

• Fresh Spinach or Basil

• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

• Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (optional)

• Garnish/Finish: Sesame seeds and an egg wash (1 beaten egg)

Instructions

1. Build the Frame: Place your tortilla on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange the three sausages in a triangle shape in the center of the tortilla.

2. Fold and Secure: Fold the edges of the tortilla over each sausage to create a triangular “stuffed crust.” Use toothpicks to pin the folds in place so they don’t spring back while baking.

3. Fill the Center: Crack two eggs directly into the center of the triangle. Add your halved cherry tomatoes, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a few leaves of spinach or basil.

4. The Cheese Layer: Generously top the center with shredded mozzarella. Don’t be afraid to let some spill onto the crust!

5. The Finishing Touch: Brush the folded edges of the tortilla with a light egg wash. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the crust for that extra crunch and professional look.

6. Bake: Slide it into an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F). Bake for about 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the eggs are set to your liking.

7. Serve: Remove the toothpicks before slicing. Cut into triangles and enjoy that “stuffed-crust” surprise in every bite!

Pro-Tips for Success

• The Toothpick Trick: Make sure the toothpicks go through both the folded edge and the bottom layer of the tortilla to keep the structure tight.

• Switch the Protein: If you aren’t a fan of hot dogs, try using precooked Italian sausage links or even strips of string cheese for a classic stuffed-crust vibe.

• Crispy Bottom: For an even crispier base, you can lightly brush the bottom of the tortilla with olive oil before adding your ingredients.
