Pizza Eggs- Delicious, leftover pizza gets a remake when added to fluffy scrambled eggs. They are easy to make and stretch your budget!
I'm not sure about you, but when we order pizza delivery, we always end up with leftovers. My husband loves having the leftovers, but sometimes there isn't enough for a full meal.
Pizza Eggs can stretch a single slice of pizza into a tasty, filling meal, perfect for breakfast, or anytime you crave a second round of pizza without an extra delivery cost.

How I Developed this Delicious Recipe for Pizza Eggs
When we heard about Pizza Eggs, I knew we had to try them. Adding chopped pizza to scrambled eggs was a perfect way to get another full meal from just a little leftover pizza.
We heard about this dish from "The Trackers", "Tim and Jenn". Their channel exploring all of the major theme parks, local restaurants, and family life as new parents is one of our favorites on YouTube. When my husband and I saw Jenn make this dish, I knew I had to make my own version.
This recipe is basically just scrambled eggs with pieces of leftover pizza folded in. We found that if you chop the pizza cold and then warm it up, the pizza blends into the eggs beautifully.
Leftover pizza for breakfast? Yes! The pizza may not be completely transformed like on Food Network's, "Chopped", but I promise this is a very tasty dish. 😉
So, let's cook!
Ingredient Notes
My Pizza Eggs has only 5 ingredients:
- Eggs - This recipe is balanced to use large eggs.
- Heavy Cream - You will need a small amount of heavy cream to make the eggs fluffy.
- Salt - Just use the plain salt in the round blue box.
- Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza - We are talking leftover pizza here! It can have any toppings and any sauce. I prefer a tomato-based sauce because it goes with eggs well. You can also use any cheese, like mozzarella cheese, Monterey jack, and/or cheddar.
- Salted Butter - Just a bit of butter keeps the eggs from sticking and adds richness to the eggs.
Remember, this recipe is just like making scrambled eggs with chopped pizza added toward the end of the cooking time!
Please see the recipe card for the exact quantities.
Substitutions & Variations
- Use Any Pizza. Cheese pizza, sausage pizza, and vegetarian pizzas with tomatoes, onions, and peppers are all excellent choices!
- Substitute Cooking Spray. Instead of butter, you can use butter-flavored cooking spray.
- Warm the Pizza in Butter. You can also warm the pizza in the pan. When the eggs are medium set, push them to one side of the pan. Add additional butter and the chopped pizza. Heat the chopped pizza through and then fold with the eggs in the pan.
Which type of pizza crust is best for Pizza Eggs, pan pizza, or thin crust?
Both are absolutely delicious! My husband prefers thin crust, which is firmer, and the little crusty bits give extra texture that he likes. I like the thicker crusts like "regular" and pan pizza. Pan pizza will make a softer bread pudding texture.
How to Make Pizza Eggs
Step 1 - Beat Eggs and Cream. In a small bowl, beat eggs, cream, and salt with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 2 - Warm Pan and Chop Pizza. Heat an 8" frying or sauté pan over low heat. Pre-warming the pan helps the eggs cook evenly.
As the pan warms, chop the pizza into small ⅓" pieces. One slice of pizza should yield approximately ⅔ of a cup of chopped pizza.
Place the pizza on a small plate and gently warm it in a microwave for about 25 seconds on high power. Set aside.
Step 3 - Make Scrambled Eggs. Add the butter to the warmed pan and let it melt. Add the beaten egg mixture and wait to let the eggs set slightly. Then using a flexible or silicon spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the pan into the center as they set.
Step 4 - Add Pizza. Add the pepperoni pizza and continue to gently move the eggs in the pan until they are set.
If you like a softer creamier scrambled egg, reduce the heat to low and carefully watch that the eggs retain some glossiness. Some people like firmly cooked but fluffy eggs, and if that is your preference, simply flip the egg mixture in the pan and let it continue to cook until the eggs have risen and are dry and firm.
Whatever way you like your scrambled eggs, do not over-stir! Stirring too much will break the egg mixture and not complement the larger chunks of pizza. Remove from heat as soon as the eggs are at your preferred texture.
Step 5 - Serve and Enjoy! Divide the Pizza Eggs between two plates and serve.

Anna says
I’ve been doing this awhile now, I melt butter in a pan and toast the cubed leftovers pizza first then add the eggs over and scrambled them together. It lets me use all the pizza including the crust. I also add shredded cheese or any leftover pizza toppings in the fridge
