Pepperoni Pizza Frittata|Life With Garnish

I like pizza! I mean, I REALLY like pizza! I’m that person that will have pizza for dinner and the next morning get up and eat the leftovers straight from the fridge for breakfast. Because pizza is my favorite food group (yep, it’s in its own food group in my world) I decided to combine the two and make a breakfast dish that incorporated breakfast with the flavors of pizza.

It’s a Pepperoni Pizza Frittata! I took my Mushroom, Spinach and Cheese Frittata recipe and swapped out those vegetables for pepperoni, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.

Oh My Goodness! You will not believe how much this egg breakfast tastes like a pepperoni pizza! And you don’t have to go through the long process of making pizza dough. You just beat some eggs and pile everything else on top! How easy is that?

As a matter of fact, it’s so easy that this may become my permanent pizza recipe! Instead of eating cold pepperoni pizza for breakfast, I’ll be eating breakfast pepperoni pizza frittata for DINNER! Or LUNCH! Or BRUNCH!

A note about the recipe…I used fresh parsley to garnish the top of the “pizza”. That’s what I had on hand so that’s what I used. You could absolutely use fresh basil or a sprinkling of grated parmesan for your “garnish” or use nothing at all. If you want to use an uncooked meat, such as hamburger or sausage, you will need to cook that done BEFORE putting it on your pizza frittata.
