Making the Breakfast Pizza ahead of time
I love this recipe because you’re able to prepare it the night before. Put the recipe together and then cover with plastic wrap. Pop it into the fridge until the next morning.
When you wake up, preheat the oven and put the Breakfast Casserole in the oven to bake. Easy peasy!
This is a great breakfast option if you have company in town and want to serve a delicious hot breakfast. Serve it with fruit and orange juice for a crowd pleasing meal!
Easy Modifications
This warm flakey breakfast dish can be modified to your liking by adding additional toppings when you sprinkle on the hash browns and cheese. Be sure to chop up your toppings so they can be evenly distributed across the delicious breakfast pizza!
You can easily make this breakfast pizza in a casserole dish if needed. While I have not tried it on a pizza stone yet, that could also be a great option as long as you make sure your egg mixture doesn’t run off your pizza stone. Another option would be to bake on the pizza stone without the egg mixture, and then at end add some scrambled eggs on the top!
If you are a vegetarian you can also just make this into a simple cheese breakfast pizza by leaving off the meat. You can also add some additional vegetables to make it more hearty!
