Easy Tortilla Cheese-Crust Breakfast Pizza
This might be one of my favorite lazy pizza ideas.
The concept is inspired by the triangle pizza hack, but I made it using string cheese for an easy, cheese-stuffed crust. It’s a simple shortcut that gives you that same melty, cheesy edge at home.
For this version, I went with a pesto combination — egg, tomatoes, extra mozzarella, and fresh basil. The result is crispy on the outside, with a gooey cheese crust and a soft, jammy yolk in the center.
What I love most is how easy and flexible this is. You can switch up the sauce, toppings, or make it more breakfast, snack, or late-night style depending on your mood.
It’s simple, satisfying, and surprisingly fun to make.

Notes
Difficulty
Easy – Simple assembly and air fryer cooking. Just secure the crust well and watch the egg doneness.Storage
Best fresh. The crust is crispiest right out of the air fryer. Refrigerator: Up to 1-2 day airtight. Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to crisp again.Oven Option
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 12–15 minutes on a parchment-lined tray, or until the crust is golden and the egg is cooked to your liking.If you liked this, you might also like:
