Storage/Reheating

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought pizza crust?

Do I need to cook the eggs before baking?

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the toppings and scrambled eggs ahead, then assemble and bake just before serving.

What’s the best cheese for breakfast pizza?

Cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses all work well.

Can I add sauce?

Is this freezer-friendly?

Can I make it in a cast iron skillet?
