• Italian seasoning – Adds a flavorful blend of herbs that enhances the overall taste with a hint of classic pizza flavor.
• Salt and black pepper – Essential for seasoning, bringing out the natural flavors of the eggs and other ingredients.
• Tomato – Adds freshness, slight acidity, and juiciness that balances the richness of the cheese and pepperoni.
• Pepperoni – Brings a savory, slightly spicy kick that mimics the classic pizza experience.
• Mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully, creating a gooey, cheesy layer that ties all the flavors together.

Instructions

Grease an oven-safe 8-inch round high-sided skillet (a seasoned cast-iron pan is perfect). Heat the prepared pan over medium heat. Set an oven rack 6 inches under the broiler and preheat the broiler.

Hint: Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a nonstick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Variations

Here are some easy ways to customize this easy breakfast pizza recipe:

• Drizzle with gravy – A little homemade brown gravy, country gravy, chicken gravy, or sausage gravy is a flavorful way to top it off.
• Switch up the protein – Swap pepperoni for cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a different flavor.
• Add more veggies – Try mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, or onions for extra nutrients and texture.
• Make it spicy – Sprinkle on red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce for a kick.
• Use different cheeses – Try feta, parmesan, provolone, or cheddar cheese instead of the traditional mozzarella.
• Bake the crust - The eggs can be poured into a sheet pan and baked to make breakfast pizza for a crowd.
• Add sauce - Use a layer of your favorite pizza sauce over the crust.

Tips

Here are more helpful tips for making this recipe:

• Preheat the pan – A hot pan helps the eggs cook evenly and prevents sticking.
• Use fresh ingredients – Fresh tomatoes and high-quality cheese enhance the flavor and texture.
• Cover while cooking – This helps the eggs cook through before broiling, preventing a runny center.
• Watch the broiler closely – The cheese can brown quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
• Let it rest before serving – Giving it a minute to cool helps the flavors meld and makes slicing easier.

Serving suggestions

This homemade breakfast pizza is delicious on its own, but pairing it with the right sides can make it even more satisfying. For a well-rounded meal, serve it with a fresh fruit salad or a side of sautéed greens like spinach or kale. If you’re looking for something heartier, crispy hash browns or air fryer home fries make a great complement to the cheesy, savory flavors.

If you’re feeding a crowd with different dietary preferences, this recipe is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those avoiding wheat. For a low-carb side, serve it with avocado slices or bacon. You can even pair it with healthy breakfast cookies for a nutritious grab-and-go option!

Storage

If you have any leftover breakfast pizza, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container to refrigerate. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze it, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.

When reheating, the best method is to warm it in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes to maintain its texture. You can also reheat it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 to 7 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, the microwave works too. Just heat it in short 20-second bursts to avoid overcooking the eggs.
