Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare the air fryer base

    Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper and place a single scallion pancake inside to serve as your crispy, flaky pizza crust.

    Tip: Ensure the parchment paper is properly positioned to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. 2Brown the sausage
    A scallion pancake topped with evenly distributed circular sausage slices.

    Arrange the sausage slices evenly over the pancake and bake at 180°C for 6 minutes to begin browning the meat and crisping the crust.

    Tip: Using pre-cooked or thin-sliced sausage helps ensure even cooking within the short baking time.
  3. 3Add the egg layer
    Egg mixture being poured from a bowl onto a scallion pancake topped with sausage slices.

    Carefully pour the beaten egg mixture over the pancake and sausage, ensuring it stays contained within the edges of the crust.

    Tip: Be careful when pouring to keep the egg mixture contained within the edges of the pancake.
  4. 4Top with vegetables

    Evenly sprinkle the small, chopped pieces of carrots, cucumbers, and corn over the wet egg layer to provide texture and color.

    Tip: Chop the vegetables into small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly with the eggs.
  5. 5Melt the cheese

    Cover everything with a generous layer of mozzarella and bake at 180°C for an additional 8 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

    Tip: Use a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, for the best pull and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but it is best to let it thaw slightly or add 1–2 minutes to the initial baking time to ensure it crisps up properly.
If the cheese is golden before the eggs are fully set, you can cover the top loosely with a small piece of aluminum foil for the final few minutes of baking.
Absolutely. Feel free to add cooked bacon, bell peppers, or even a drizzle of sriracha or hoisin sauce after baking for extra flavor.
