    I've always loved cafeteria food. I know some people despise it, but for me, school pizza's just so good. I remember school lunches with such nostalgia. I loved all of them, but one of my favorite school items was the breakfast pizza.

    This was inspired by my other pizza recipe and our Homemade Pizza Rolls in an Air Fryer recipe that puts a spin on classic pizza and pairs well with this amazing buttermilk ranch recipe.

    Vary the toppings to accommodate your personal taste.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • It only takes a few ingredients to make.
    • It's an easy recipe that uses pre-made pizza crust and it's ready in a flash.
    • It's loaded with your favorite breakfast items.

    Ingredients

    You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this recipe, and you'll find them all easily at your local grocery store.

    all ingredients ready to make school breakfast pizza on counter
    • Refrigerated Pizza Crust - A fresh pizza crust will also work. Simply follow package directions to and pre-bake it as directed. You can also use pita bread too.
    • Bacon and Breakfast Sausage - Cooked diced ham or chicken would be tasty as well.
    • Eggs - Egg whites or an egg replacement or substitute will definitely work.
    • Whole Milk - Feel free to use half and half for a richer scramble.
    • Cheddar Cheese and Pepper Jack Cheese - Feel free to use a different kind of cheese. American, Colby jack, Monterey jack and provolone, mozzarella are great choices.
    • Salt and Pepper - Total flavor enhancers.
    • Onion Powder - You could use a tablespoon of diced, sauteed onion instead.
    • Minced Garlic - I used fresh minced garlic but a teaspoon of garlic powder would work here as well.
    • Green Onion - The green onions are optional but I love the pop of color and taste they give the finished product.

    See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Add Heat: Add a bit of chili pepper flakes, diced jalapeno pepper, homemade hot pepper sauce, our jalapeno powder, smoked jalapeno powder, or chipotle powder to the egg mixture for a bit of heat.
    • Add Vegetables: Try adding sauteed mushrooms, onions, and/or bell peppers on this pizza as well.
    • Add Beans: Add black beans, kidney beans or chick peas, if desired.

    Storage

    Refrigerator: Once the pizza has cooled completely, seal it in an airtight container (you might have to slice it first) and store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to 3 days but it will get a little soggier as time goes on, so it’s best to enjoy it sooner rather than later.

    Freezer: Allow the pizza to cool to room temperature before wrapping each slice individually in plastic wrap and sealing it inside a freezer safe airtight container inside freezer for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw in the fridge before reheating.

    Reheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the leftover pizza in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until warmed and melted. You can also microwave a slice of breakfast pizza in 15 second intervals until heated through.

    What to Serve with Breakfast Pizza

    Serve this breakfast pizza with milk, coffee, or tea along with fresh fruit.

    Tips

    • Poke holes in the crust with a fork before baking it to prevent bubbling.
    • Scramble the eggs slowly so the cheese can fully melt as the eggs cook.
    • Be sure to drain your sausage completely before adding it to the pizza so it won't be greasy.

    Get Recipe Ingredients

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray
    • Pre-bake the crust. Stretch the crust out over the baking sheet making sure to reach all sides and corners. Use a fork to prick a few tiny holes in the dough so that it doesn’t puff during the baking process.
    • Bake for 8 minutes and then set aside but do not turn off your oven. If the pizza dough package has different instructions, follow those instructions instead.
    • Whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ cup cheddar cheese, ½ cup pepper Jack, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic. Scramble. Pour the egg mixture into a non stick skillet over medium heat. Allow the eggs to sit for 30 seconds or so before pulling the edges toward the center with a rubber spatula and tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to make contact with the hot surface. Repeat until the eggs are cooked through.

    Assembly

    • Spread the scrambled eggs over the baked crust along with the crumbled sausage. Mix it together as you spread it across the pizza crust. Add the bacon over the entire pizza and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake.
    • Bake again until the cheese is melted (about 2 minutes).

    For Serving

    • Sprinkle the green onions over the top of the pizza, slice, and serve.
