"Egg? Don't call it a pizza," wrote one.
"Oh no Nigella!" exclaimed another, with a third saying: "That's terrible, but I must admit, very creative."
However, the majority of social media users were in love with the photo – much like us.
"Nigella is hitting new heights and I'm here for it! After all, she is the queen," gushed one Instagram user.
"This looks so tasty," said a second, with a third noting: "Breakfast of champions. The only thing better than pizza is leftover pizza and the only thing better than egg is egg with chilli."

As per her post, Nigella, like many Londoners, is clearly a fan of ASAP Pizza, which is currently operating out of Lyle's restaurant in Shoreditch.
When she's not eating pizza for breakfast, the famous mum can most likely be found tucking into a tasty bowl of granola, revealing on her website that the meal is one of her go-tos.
The mum-of-two says on busy mornings she suggests "a big jar of Andy’s Fairfield Granola or make a batch of Breakfast Bars at the weekend and then you will have a perfect breakfast on the go".
