Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to around 375 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Flatbread: Place your flatbread or pre-made pizza crust on a clean surface, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle garlic salt.
Add shredded cheese to the top of each flatbread. Use the cheese to make a well for 1-2 eggs in the center of the pizza. This will help keep the egg whites from running off the side of the bread.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice or rip the prosciutto into small pieces. Place the cherry tomatoes and prosciutto on top of the pizza, leaving the middle of each well open for the egg.
Add the Eggs: Carefully place an egg into the middle of each well. To keep the eggs intact, crack each egg separately into a small bowl and then tip the egg from the bowl onto the top of the pizza
Air Fry the Pizza: Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated air fryer basket or tray. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are crispy.
Customize: Feel free to add optional toppings like sliced avocado, a dollop of salsa, or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve: Once the breakfast flatbread pizza is cooked to your liking, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Let it cool for a moment before slicing and serving.
Pro Tips For Cooking Breakfast Flatbread In Air Fryer
To achieve the perfect Breakfast Flatbread Pizza in your air fryer, here are some pro tips to consider:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer before cooking to ensure even cooking and optimal results. This helps create a crispier crust and evenly melted cheese.
- Use Parchment Paper: To prevent sticking and ensure easy removal, place a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket or on the tray before placing the flatbread.
- Precook Ingredients: For ingredients like breakfast meats, such as bacon or sausage, precooking them slightly before adding them to the flatbread is a good idea. This prevents the pizza from becoming too greasy as it cooks.
- Avoid Overloading: While toppings are delicious, avoid overloading the flatbread with too many ingredients. A balanced amount of toppings ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
- Add Cheese First: Start with a layer of cheese on the bottom. This creates a barrier between the crust and wetter ingredients, helping to prevent sogginess.
- Keep Eggs Moist: When adding scrambled eggs, ensure they are slightly undercooked since they will continue to cook during air frying.
- Layer Ingredients Evenly: Distribute toppings evenly across the flatbread to ensure that each bite is flavorful.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the cooking process. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the crust and the air fryer’s temperature.
- Don’t Overcook: Avoid overcooking the flatbread pizza, as it can lead to a dry crust and overly crispy toppings.
- Add Fresh Toppings Later: If you’re adding fresh toppings like avocado or herbs, consider adding them after the pizza is cooked to preserve their texture and flavor.
- Slice Before Serving: Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. This helps maintain the toppings’ arrangement and prevents them from sliding off.
- Experiment with Settings: Air fryers vary in temperature and cooking times, so don’t hesitate to experiment with settings to achieve your preferred level of crispiness.
Following these pro tips, you’ll be able to create a mouthwatering and perfectly cooked Breakfast Flatbread Pizza in your air fryer. Enjoy the fusion of breakfast and pizza flavors with a crispy, golden crust!

Egg doneness tips:
In my air fryer a flatbread with one egg takes 5 minutes for a runny yolk, and 7 minutes for a set yolk.
In my air fryer a flatbread with two eggs takes 5 minutes for a runny yolk, and 8 minutes for a set yolk.
All air fryers are different, so cooking times for your eggs may vary. After 8 minutes, keep a close eye on the pizza. You can very lightly touch the top of the egg to feel if it is done to your liking.
