Pepperoni Pizza Egg Casserole from www.EverydayMaven.com

My older son is obsessed with pizza. Specifically, pepperoni pizza. And, unfortunately, he has been mostly anti-egg for a while now. He used to happily eat scrambled eggs as a baby but a couple of years ago decided he didn’t really like the texture anymore.

He is a great eater and very open-minded about food but I really want him to eat eggs – especially for breakfast. Since you know I am a bit obsessed with making egg casseroles, I decided to marry his obsession with pepperoni pizza and my obsession with egg casseroles and viola – the mother of all breakfasts – the Pepperoni Pizza Egg Casserole.

Oh my word – this thing is good. Like, crazy good.

Not only did my older son happily eat it for breakfast but he ALSO had a piece for lunch. Since he eats dairy, I melted a little mozzarella on top of his and served it with an additional side of pizza sauce for dipping. Drool.

If you eat cheese, you could also whisk 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella in with the eggs. If not, it’s plenty delicious without it!

This freezes great (after being cooked, cut and cooled) and is Whole30 compliant as long as you use a sugar-free pizza sauce and the right kind of pepperoni.

    I couldn’t find compliant pepperoni, so I’m trying with browned Italian sausage

    Hello!! Have you tried prepping this the night before and baking in the morning? Usually thats how I roll, but wasn’t sure how the pizza sauce and eggs would sit overnight ??

    Hi Zag, You don’t have to use the pepperoni in the picture for this recipe to be Whole30. Just use a Whole30 approved brand and you’re good to go!

    Can you bake the eggs first and then put pizza toppings on top of cooked eggs? Seems like it would be more like pizza.

    Can you just mix pizza sauce with eggs before blending?
