Ingredients

Flatbreads or Naan Breads: Use four medium-sized flatbreads or naan as a crispy, sturdy base that holds toppings well.
Large Eggs: Four eggs provide a rich, fluffy topping once scrambled with milk for extra softness.
Milk (optional): Two tablespoons added to eggs help create creamier, lighter scrambled eggs for a tender texture.
Salt and Black Pepper: Season eggs adequately to bring out the natural flavors and enhance the dish’s overall taste.
Breakfast Sausage (200 g / 7 oz): Cooked and crumbled, this adds savory depth and a hearty protein boost to the flatbreads.
Bacon Slices (4-6 slices): Crispy cooked and chopped bacon adds smoky, crunchy texture and rich flavor contrast.
Shredded Cheese (1-1½ cups): Cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend melts beautifully, providing gooey richness on top.
Green Onions (optional): Thinly sliced for a fresh, mild onion flavor and vibrant color garnish.
Fresh Parsley or Chives (optional): Adds fresh herbal notes and a lovely finishing touch.
Hot Sauce or Ketchup (optional): Provides customizable heat or sweetness when serving.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200 °C (approximately 400 °F) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the flatbreads and fully melt the cheese. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
Prepare and Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk (if using), salt, and black pepper until combined. Scramble them gently in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until just set but still soft and moist to maintain fluffiness on the flatbreads.
Assemble the Flatbreads: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over each flatbread, spreading carefully to cover the surface. Sprinkle cooked crumbled sausage and bacon pieces evenly on top for bursts of savory flavor in every bite. Finish by sprinkling a generous amount of shredded cheese to add creamy melted richness.
Bake Until Melty and Crispy: Place assembled flatbreads in the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes. This melts the cheese to a bubbly golden perfection and heats the flatbreads through, slightly crisping their edges for texture.
Garnish and Serve Warm: Take flatbreads out of the oven, sprinkle with sliced green onions or fresh herbs like parsley or chives for brightness. Slice into portions and serve immediately with optional hot sauce or ketchup on the side to complement all the flavors.

You Must Know

Flatbreads should be sturdy enough to hold toppings without becoming soggy during baking.
Use freshly cooked sausage and bacon for best flavor and texture contrast.
The optional milk in eggs is key to achieving soft, fluffy scrambled eggs on the flatbreads.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness without sogginess.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these flatbreads with a light green salad or fresh fruit for a balanced meal. Add a side of freshly brewed coffee or orange juice for a complete breakfast or brunch experience.

Make ahead by prepping and storing cooked sausage and bacon separately, then assemble just before baking.

FAQs

Can I make these flatbreads vegetarian?: Yes, simply omit the sausage and bacon, and add your favorite sautéed vegetables or vegetarian sausage for a meat-free version.
What type of flatbread works best?: Choose sturdy flatbreads or naan that can hold toppings without becoming soggy during baking. Avoid thin or overly soft varieties.
How do I keep the eggs fluffy?: Whisking in a little milk and cooking the eggs gently over medium heat until softly set helps keep them light and fluffy on the flatbreads.
Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?: Yes, cook and store the sausage, bacon, and scrambled eggs separately. Assemble and bake when ready to serve for best texture.
What other cheeses can I use?: Cheddar and mozzarella work well, but you can try pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or a blend for extra flavor variation.
