Instructions

Sauté Vegetables and Ham: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green pepper, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Then add the diced ham and cook for another 2 minutes to warm through.
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of hot sauce until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Cook Eggs with Vegetables and Ham: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and ham. Stir gently and cook over medium heat until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Prepare Tortillas: Brush both sides of the tortillas or whole wheat pitas lightly with olive oil. Heat a separate clean skillet over medium heat and warm each tortilla for about 1 minute per side until crispy and slightly golden.
Assemble Breakfast Pizzas: Divide the cooked egg mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas, spreading it out to cover the surface. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top of all four tortillas.
Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of foil and heat over low-medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, optionally sprinkle chopped chives over the pizzas, slice, and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying breakfast.

Notes

You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon, sausage, or keep it vegetarian by omitting the meat.
Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrients.
Add your favorite vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes for variation.
If preferred, bake assembled pizzas briefly under a broiler to melt the cheese instead of covering the skillet.
Adjust the hot sauce amount to suit your taste preference or omit entirely for a milder flavor.
