This Pizza Tortilla (Spanish) can be made in the Duo Crisp plus Air Fryer or the IP and an Oven or Separate Air Fryer.
The reason that I made this Recipe up is because, We Love Pizza, but Carbs are not our friend. Sometimes you just need to do the Bread, but others…well, this satisfies that Pizza Craving so well for us that it has been added to the Rotation.
I made this in my 8 q IP Duo Crisp plus AF. It can be done in the Pro Crisp as well.
You will need a Steam Basket to fit into the IP,
a leak Proof Cheesecake Pan, Either a Spring Form Pan, or Push Pan will do, and about 12” of Parchment Paper .
It can be made in the smaller 6 q as well, but you will need a spring form Pan or push Pan and a steam basket that fit it.
If you have a Food Processor it makes this process faster, or you can just slice by hand.

DIRECTIONS:
Line your Cheesecake Pan. (It’s kind of A backwards liner)
Remove the Bottom and use it for a Pattern. Set it on the Parchment and draw a circle 1/2-3/4” bigger round than the bottom of the Pan. Cover the bottom of the bottom with the Parchment round and lower it into the Cheesecake Pan, to secure it so it won’t leak..see pic below. I run my thumb around the paper to crease it to stay put around the sides.
Spray the inside of the Pan and set aside.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE VEGGIES:
Add the 4 mm slicing Blade the Food Processor and run the Veggies through it. If you don’t have a Processor then just slice them all thin.. a little more than about 1/8” Thick.
Add 1 1/2 c water to the 8 q Pot and lower the Basket down in to the Pot.
Add the Veggies to a Steamer Basket in the IP. Add about 1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning to the top of the Veggies. (You can do these on a lotus steamer if you don’t have a Basket, you will just need to spoon them out when done.)
Set the Time for 1 Min Hi Pressure and then QR when the timer goes off. Let them set in the Pot for 2 more minutes and then remove them from the Pot. Set aside to cool.
As the Veggies cook, start the Sausage in a Frying Pan.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE MEAT:
Using a heavy Frying Pan on Medium Hi heat, cook the Sausage until it’s starting to Brown, then pull off the Burner. (As it cooks, the Veggies will probably finish cooking, so allow them to Cool for a couple of min while you finish cooking the Sausage.).
DIRECTIONS FOR THE EGGS:
Crack and beat the Eggs in a Bowl, add the EVOO, S &P, Italian Seasoning, 1 tsp Pizza Seasoning and 1/2 c of the Cheese. Set aside.
Leave the Water in the IP but lower the Long handled trivet into the Pot then add the Cheesecake Pan, now use the Air Fryer lid to Preheat the Cheesecake Pan.
Set the Air Fryer temp to 400° and allow it to Preheat with the Pan in the Pot.
When the Sausage is done Cooking and the Veggies have cooled some, add the Veggies in with the Meat in the frying Pan.
Taste and add more Salt if needed . Remember the Eggs and Sausage have some too.
Add 1/4 c Pizza Sauce and the 1 1/2 tsp Pizza Seasoning to the Veggies and the Meat, Fold together. Leave some Sauce in spots, don’t blend it all in.
Add Eggs and Cheese, Stir in.
Pour the Mixture into the Cheesecake Pan, and set the
Air Fryer time for 15 min.
Spread 1/2 c of the Sauce on top of the Mixture and add the other 1/2 c Cheese on top and cook for 5 min more to brown the Cheese.
Remove from the Air Fryer. Careful it’s very Hot.
Take a stiff, yet playable Spatula and insert it between the Pan and the Food and go around the Edge to loosen it from the Sides.
Depending on what type of Cheesecake Pan you have, Remove the outside Pan leaving the Tortilla on the Bottom of the Pan. If you have a Push Pan you will have to invert a fat Glass or Jar to set the bottom of the Pan on so that you can Push the side of the Pan down.
To serve, spread a Tbsp of the Sauce on a Plate. Slice Tortilla into Wedges and set a Wedge on the Sauce.
