Yes, this is pizza that you eat for breakfast! It’s made sort of like traditional pizza. Chunky salsa acts as the sauce on this breakfast pizza, and then it’s topped with crumbled pork sausage, lightly scrambled eggs and cheese. It’s baked on a pizza stone, and it’s cut into slices just like the pizza you eat for dinner.
Pizza for Breakfast!
If eating scrambled egg pizza for breakfast seems odd to you, I totally understand. I was a new teacher in San Diego years ago when someone brought a pizza from a local pizza joint into the staff lunchroom one morning. I remember thinking it was weird that someone brought pizza in the morning. But then it was explained that it was an egg pizza. It was something that the local pizza place was known for. Apparently, everyone stopped by to grab breakfast pizzas from this place! Of course I tasted the Scrambled Egg Pizza and immediately fell in love with it. I never stopped thinking about it, so I definitely had to create my own version at home.
Can you change up the toppings on this Scrambled Egg Pizza?
Probably. I’d still plan to use salsa as the “sauce” for the pizza. You could certainly add another kind of meat here– maybe prosciutto or ham– though I’m not sure how those would taste with the salsa. I think the eggs and cheese are a must. You could add in some sauteed veggies like peppers, mushrooms or spinach.
A drizzle of sour cream is perfect. An addition of avocado or guacamole would be delicious too.
This is a pizza that should be made and eaten the same day. Leftovers of Scrambled Egg Pizza won’t be as good as classic Italian pizza. The crust tends to get a little soggy overnight since the sauce is made out of salsa.
I suggest you try making this breakfast pizza one of these weekends when you’re looking for something interesting to make for breakfast or brunch. Maybe you’ll love it as much as I do!
