- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tsp unsalted butter or olive oil
- 2 tbsp marinara sauce
- 1 English muffin
- 2 tbsp shredded Italian cheese
- 2 slices pepperoni
How to Make this Easy Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Step 5: Top with the scrambled egg, cheese and pepperoni.

Baking Tips
Feel free to change up the flavor profiles and combinations. Any protein would work for this. Honey or jelly would also work instead of the marinara sauce.
Cook times may vary depending on different oven types, and also what toppings you decide to use on your pizzas.
Storage
You can store leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container, zippered bag, or wrap in tin foil for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
Try freezing your pizzas for up to 3 months by wrapping individually in plastic wrap and placing in a large ziploc freezer bag. A delicious way to have ready made breakfast for months in advance!
How to reheat your breakfast pizza
To reheat, wrap pizza in a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minutes, and in 30 second increments until warm. For frozen pizza, microwave for longer increments.
If you would prefer to reheat your breakfast pizza in the oven, simply preheat oven to 350 degrees and warm for 5 to 10 minutes until desired temperature. For frozen pizza, allow to thaw on counter for 10-15 minutes before placing in the oven, or add additional minutes for baking.
What to Serve/Pair with Your Breakfast Pizzas
Serve your breakfast pizzas with a side of crispy bacon, sausage, or fresh fruit and yogurt. Another fun side dish idea is to make a large fruit salad.
Include a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice on the side for the perfect breakfast to send the kids off to school full and happy.
