This vegetarian breakfast pizza recipe is filling with both complex carbohydrates and satiating protein. It’s also bursting with flavor and a great way to start the day with veggies!
What’s the truth about breakfast anyway? Is it the most important meal of the day? Do we really need to eat it within 30 minutes of waking up? How do we know what’s the truth or just a rumor?
So, I’ve always been a breakfast lover. It’s my favorite meal of the day.
Scratch that – BRUNCH is my favorite meal of the day. It’s between breakfast and lunch, and often includes all my favorite breakfast foods, except just MORE of them.
Any foodie loves the choice of an asparagus quiche, fruits, pancakes, berry waffles, or french toast sticks. Plus, mimosas, dips and the whole spread.
Brunch is the perfect excuse to try it all. Especially with this veggie breakfast pizza recipe.
Benefits of breakfast:
If you need a nudge for why you should eat breakfast, consider these reasons for making this veggie breakfast pizza.
- You want your breakfast to set you up for the day! You’ve just been hibernating all night, right? Your body wakes up and needs fuel to get you through the upcoming day’s adventures.
- Glucose gives us energy and helps us concentrate (at work or in school). In fact, many studies such as this one, have shown that regular meal times and healthy breakfast choices were associated with better school performance and improved cognitive function
- It may help us distribute energy more evenly throughout the day and prevents us from overeating at subsequent meals and snacks (Source)
- In provides endurance, which is great in helping us maintain and fuel for an active lifestyle
- It provides essential vitamins and nutrients (assuming we are choosing healthy options with fiber, whole grains, protein, healthy fat)
- Breakfast skipping has been linked to poorer diet quality overall (Source)
Furthermore, breakfast consumers exhibit better glucose control throughout the day compared with those who skip a morning meal.
Vegetarian Breakfast Pizza Ingredients
This veggie breakfast pizza is filled with whole grains (complex carbohydrates), ample fiber from the sweet potatoes and veggies, healthy fats and satiating protein from the eggs and cheese, and all around flavor.
This meets all of the qualifications for a balanced, healthy, salivating breakfast.
You can modify the toppings, but here is what I’ve used:
- onions
- sweet potatoes
- broccoli
- tomato
- mushroom
- artichokes
- eggs
- tortilla or flatbread
- cheese
Veggie Sweet Potato Avocado Breakfast Pizza
This veggie sweet potato avocado breakfast pizza is filling with both complex carbohydrates and satiating protein. It's also bursting with flavor and a great way to start the day with veggies!
Ingredients
- ½ medium sweet potato, cut into discs
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp basil
- 1/8 - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 tortilla wrap or flatbread
- ½ ripe avocado
- ¼ cup sliced olives
- 1/3 cup sliced mushrooms
- ¼ cup sliced artichokes
- 1/3 cup chopped tomato
- ¼ cup sliced broccoli florets
- 1 handful of spinach
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup cheese, I used feta and shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. While waiting for oven to preheat, you can cut your vegetables. Chop cooked sweet potato into disc shapes.
- Mix your seasonings in a small bowl.
- Toast flatbread for 2 minutes in oven to get them a little crisp. Then, scoop out half of avocado and spread it on the flatbread as the base layer. Layer sweet potato discs on top of avocado.
- Add additional toppings based on your liking. I used Kalamata olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, artichokes, broccoli and spinach.
- Crack two eggs over pizza and top with choice of cheese and seasoning blend.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until egg whites are fully cooked.

Since I love dippy yolks, I folded the flatbread over ever so gracefully.
Or, eat it like a pizza!

Support Bucket List TummyEggs and avocados are one of my favorite combos too! I will eat them or breakfast or dinner. Love them! Thanks for joining us for meatless Monday today!
My mouth is watering looking at that pizza! I couldn’t imagine not having breakfast but I do find it frustrating how so many breakfast foods are sugar and refined carbohydrates. That’s not going to help with starting your day or weight management.
I never. Ever. Skip breakfast. The breakfast pizza is piled with some of my favorite foods. Sweet potato and egg. Yum!
Hot Damn YES!!!This is the best breakfast EVER!!! 😀
HA! I just said this to my friend the other day! Brunch is my favorite meal because it’s BIGGER than breakfast! I love to eat anything that I can put peanut butter on. Lately I’ve been making banana bowls or microwave banana bread. NOM!
Sweet potato, roast veggies and eggs!! OH yum! Some of my faves right there!! And I couldn’t agree more!! Yay for breakfast! SO important!!
xoxo Cailee!
I wake up way too hungry to not eat breakfast, and if I skip it my good eating habits are shot for the day. If I could make delicious looking breakfasts like these every day, I would enjoy it a whole lot more!!
So true – breakfast sets the stage for my day, so I try to make it worth it. I wish I had the time to actually make this every morning!
I’m one of those people who totally doesn’t understand how anyone can skip breakfast because this girl wakes up HUNGRY 😛 Luckily breakfast is probably my favourite meal of the day (and maybe that’s why I wake up ready to eat? Haha!)
This breakfast pizza looks amazing! xo
Me too – hunger is what gets me out of bed in the morning! 🙂
Ohhhhh man, this is a recipe that totally caught my eye, I LOVE HOW GOOD THIS LOOKS. I would definitely see myself eating this for supper since I have more of a sweet tooth in the morning. I absolutely love breakfast and I am always looking forward to it, I actually don’t quite understand how people don’t die of hunger when they don’t eat breakfast!
Funny that you say that – when I have my sweeter oatmeal in the morning, I definitely crave eggs for a later meal. I look forward to breakfast, always.
This looks so good and I can see myself eating this meal for lunch and dinner too! Pretty much anything with sweet potato, eggs and avocados and I’m in 🙂
The great thing with eggs and sweet potatoes is that they are any-meal types of foods!
Breakfast is def my favorite meal of the day. It involves coffee and lots of nut butter… what more could you ask for?!? This recipe looks so delicious too!!
A life without breakfast, coffee, and nut butter would be a tragic one, indeed
Totally making this! Looks amazing. Think it keeps well for leftovers the next morning?
It can! I saved some for leftovers and it does get a little softer, but should be good if you have time to throw it in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to crisp it back up. The flavors were good enough for me to just eat it as is the next day.
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! Oddly enough, I’m not such a fan of brunch because uts usually way later than I wake up and I get too hungry to wait!
I love the soup of this breakfast pizza! Drippy eggs?! Yes please!
I ALWAYS have to eat before brunch so I feel you there. I’m always ravenous when I wake up and I don’t want to be hangry!
My go-to & my favorite breakfasts are different. I usually rock overnight oats or a homemade parfait on the weekdays. But I love me some homemade hash on the weekends with whatever meat I have leftover from the week. Corned beef or Ham are my two favorites. Toss in some potatoes, veggies, scrambled eggs. Mmm.
Yes – I love hashes and mixing in whatever I have to be used! Potatoes have this amazing ability to mesh well with so many flavors 🙂
I am on a huge toast, PB and banana kick! But that bfast pizza looks AMAZING!
It has me wrapped around it’s finger!
I would never miss breakfast, it’s my fav meal!!! This breakfast pizza is EPIC!
I go to bed dreaming about breakfast 🙂
we are all all all about the DINNER IN THE AM and the BREAKFAST FOODS IN THE PM here.
so much so my child’s teacher was horrified and CALLED ME ABOUT IT (“sloppy joe isnt a breakfast food.” “uh it is HERE. whats yer point?” :))
Oh yes! I love breakfast for dinner and switching things up! Breakfast should be whatever you want it to be 🙂
This has all my favourites – sweet potato egg and avocado are such a killer combination. I’d splurge and maybe throw some goat cheese on there. Now I just need to find a wrap that would hold together. Do you think just a standard tortilla wrap would hold everything ok?
I love breakfast. Everything about it. I need to work at eating it earlier though – I often let a couple hours go by and I know that’s not beneficial for metabolism. Great post!
If you use a standard tortilla wrap, I’d maybe load it up with a little less, or put it in the toaster oven/oven for a couple minutes before decorating it to give it some strength! Otherwise you could turn it into a breakfast wrap?
Gosh, breakfast is seriously SOOO good. I look forward to it every night! My breakfast go-to right now is baked oatmeal and then a piece of fruit later in the morning.
I never think to have a breakfast pizza- but I do not hate the idea! Sweet potato & avocado make a lovely combination!.
Sweet potato + avocado + eggs is one of my top 3 favorite flavor combo’s!
That looks amazing!! I love those kinds of breakfasts. My go-to is a frittata but I always use sweet potatoes because I think they help me to stay full for the rest of the morning. My only issue with breakfast is not having enough time during the week to cook as much as I would like!
Weekday breakfasts are usually on the fly for me too or my standard oatmeal bowl. But I make things like this for lunch and dinner all the time!
