This breakfast naan pizza is the perfect mix of easy and elevated. Crispy naan, rich tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella, and a perfectly baked egg are nestled in a prosciutto “nest.”
It’s the kind of recipe that feels indulgent but is actually well-balanced, giving you protein, healthy fats, and flavor in every bite.
You're staring at that extra naan from last night, wondering what to do with it. Or maybe you're just craving a breakfast that feels a little fancy but is actually ridiculously easy. Either way, breakfast naan pizza is about to be your new favorite morning upgrade.
Ingredients (Serves 2-4)
Each small naan gets a layer of passata for a rich tomato base, then a sprinkle of grated mozzarella, creating little cheesy borders to hold the egg in place. Torn prosciutto adds that salty, savory kick, and after carefully pouring in a fresh egg, a pinch of salt and chili flakes ties it all together.
- naan breads (store-bought or these super easy homemade naans!)
- passata, which is basically a tomato sauce, as a base.
- grated mozzarella (because I cannot imagine a pizza without cheesy elements!)
- prosciutto, torn into pieces. You can use any kind of ham you like, or even swap it with smoked salmon or diced veggies!
- eggs - perfect for breakfast or lunch!
- salt (adjust as needed, prosciutto is salty)
- chili flakes - I find them the best-looking sprinkles for the eggs 🙂
- avocado - a creamy and nutritious addition
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or chives, for garnish)

Instructions
This naan breakfast pizza is a simple yet satisfying way to start your day, combining crispy naan, gooey cheese, and a perfectly baked egg. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you’ll have a balanced, protein-packed breakfast ready in under 15 minutes.
Here are your step-by-step instructions on how to make this easy naan pizza:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the naan rounds on the sheet. Brush your naans with olive oil for a crispier base. Spoon 1 tablespoon of passata onto each naan and spread it evenly.
- Step 2: Sprinkle grated mozzarella generously over the passata, forming a slight cheese topping border around the center to help contain the egg. Tear the prosciutto into pieces and arrange them around the cheese border.
- Step 3: Crack each egg into a small dish first to prevent shell fragments. Carefully pour one egg into the center of each naan, ensuring it stays within the cheese nest.
- Step 4: Sprinkle lightly with salt (remember, prosciutto adds saltiness) and chili flakes for extra heat. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolk is slightly runny (or fully set, depending on your preference).
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Add avocado slices and sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives for extra flavor.
Serve immediately while warm. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick savory snack.
Recipe Tips
Preparation
- Use room temperature eggs – Cold eggs may take longer to cook and could spread unevenly.
- Create a sturdy cheese nest – Make sure the mozzarella border is thick enough to help contain the egg.
- Pre-crack eggs in a small bowl – This prevents shell pieces and makes it easier to pour onto the naan without breaking the yolk.
Troubleshooting
- Eggs running off the naan? – Ensure your cheese border is thick enough or use a slightly deeper naan if available.
- Eggs not cooking evenly? – If the whites aren’t setting but the yolk is cooking too fast, cover the pizzas loosely with foil for the last few minutes.
- Cheese browning too much? – Move the baking tray to a lower rack in the oven to slow down browning.
Garnish & Serving Ideas
- Fresh herbs – A sprinkle of chopped cilantro, fresh parsley, or green onions adds color and freshness.
- Extra crunch – Try red pepper flakes, toasted sesame seeds, or even crispy fried onions.
- Drizzle it up – A touch of chili oil, pesto, or sriracha can enhance the flavors.
- Creamy finish – Add a spoonful of mascarpone cheese or serve with a side of diced avocado.
Topping Ideas
Protein
Crispy bacon or turkey sausage – Adds crunch and richness.
Smoked salmon – Pairs well with mascarpone or avocado.
Rotisserie chicken – A hearty, high-protein option.
Cheese
Mascarpone – Creamy and indulgent.
Feta or goat cheese – Tangy and bold.
Parmesan or burrata – For extra depth and creaminess.
Add-Ons
Chopped cilantro, parsley, or green onions – Adds brightness.
Arugula or microgreens – Peppery and fresh.
Diced avocado – Creamy and satisfying.
Chili oil or sriracha – For a bold, spicy kick.
Red pepper flakes – Easy and classic.
Storage
Fridge – Store leftover naan breakfast pizza in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezer – Not recommended, as the egg texture may become rubbery when thawed.
Reheating
Oven (Best Method) – Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
Air Fryer – Heat at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes for a crispier texture.
Stovetop – Reheat in a covered pan over medium-low heat until warmed through.
Microwave (Fastest, but Least Crispy) – Heat in 20-second intervals until warm.
FAQ
Make sure your cheese border is thick enough to contain the egg. If needed, press the naan slightly in the center before adding toppings to create a shallow well. Pouring the egg slowly from a small dish also helps control placement.
Absolutely! Try topping with scrambled eggs after baking, or swap the egg for more cheese, sautéed mushrooms, or mashed avocado.
