↓ The ingredients ↓ The steps

This brilliant skillet fusion marries the flaky, multi-layered crispiness of a Chinese scallion pancake with the universally beloved toppings of a classic pizza. By cooking everything in a single pan starting from cold, the crust achieves a golden crunch while the eggs and cheese steam-melt into a rich, comforting bite without ever needing an oven.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Place the scallion pancake
    A scallion pancake being laid flat inside a clean non-stick frying pan on an unlit stove.

    Place a scallion pancake flat into a non-stick frying pan while keeping the heat turned off.

    Tip: Make sure the pan is dry and the stove is off before starting.
  2. 2Crack an egg onto the pancake
    An egg being cracked directly onto the middle of a raw scallion pancake in a frying pan.

    Crack a fresh egg directly onto the center of the uncooked scallion pancake in the pan.

    Tip: Crack the egg gently to keep the yolk intact in the middle.
  3. 3Brush the egg evenly
    A hand using a tied bunch of scallion stalks to brush cracked egg white and yolk across a pancake.

    Use a scallion stalk as a brush to spread and coat the egg liquid evenly across the entire surface of the pancake.

    Tip: A scallion stalk adds a subtle aromatic flavor while serving as a natural brush.
  4. 4Arrange cherry tomatoes
    Yellow and orange cherry tomatoes being arranged in a circular pattern over the egg-coated pancake.

    Place yellow and orange cherry tomatoes in a neat circle over the egg layer on the pancake.

    Tip: Space the tomatoes out evenly so every slice gets a juicy bite later.
  5. 5Add shredded cheese
    Shredded mozzarella cheese being sprinkled by hand over the tomatoes and egg layer.

    Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes and egg base.

    Tip: Ensure the cheese covers the edges to create a crispy, cheesy crust.
  6. 6Squeeze ketchup
    Ketchup being squeezed in a zigzag pattern across the cheesy pancake base in the pan.

    Squeeze ketchup in a zigzag pattern across the layer of cheese and tomatoes.

    Tip: Do not add too much ketchup to avoid making the base soggy.
  7. 7Add cooked chicken breast
    Cooked chicken breast chunks being arranged over the ingredients in the pan.

    Place pieces of cooked chicken breast evenly over the sauce and other toppings inside the pan.

    Tip: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces so they distribute evenly across the pizza.
  8. 8Add sliced ham sausage
    Round slices of ham sausage being laid out evenly over the toppings in the pan.

    Distribute sliced ham sausage rounds evenly across the top of the pizza to add extra savory flavor.

    Tip: Space the sausage slices out so every slice of the finished pizza has a good share of meat.
  9. 9Add another layer of shredded cheese
    A hand scattering a generous handful of shredded cheese over the pizza toppings.

    Sprinkle a second generous layer of shredded cheese directly over the meat and vegetable toppings.

    Tip: Adding cheese both under and over the toppings ensures everything stays nicely bound together.
  10. 10Cover and simmer
    A pan covered with a transparent glass lid sitting on a stovetop burner.

    Place a glass lid over the pan and let the pizza simmer on low heat until the cheese completely melts.

    Tip: Keep the heat low so the bottom crust gets crispy without burning before the cheese melts.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you can place a frozen scallion pancake directly into the cold pan. It will thaw and crisp up perfectly as the pan slowly heats up.
It is best to use pre-cooked chicken breast because the total cooking time under the lid is only about 10 minutes on low heat, which is not long enough to safely cook raw meat.
Low heat allows the egg layer to set and the cheese to melt thoroughly while giving the pancake crust time to turn golden and crispy without burning.
