How to Make Pizza For Breakfast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Thaw 10 oz frozen spinach and thoroughly squeeze out all excess water.
  3. Drain 1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes, reserving about 1/4 cup of juice for extra moisture if needed. Squeeze out excess water.
  4. Chop 3 oz pepperoni, reserving 9 slices. (Alternatively, use 4 oz Italian sausage, reserving 1/4 of the cooked and chopped sausage).
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder.
  6. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Gradually add 3/4 cup milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  8. Lightly flour your hands and press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, extending about 1 inch up the sides.
  9. Layer the spinach, drained tomatoes, 2 finely chopped shallots, the chopped meat (pepperoni or sausage), and 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes over the crust.
  10. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  11. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and meat layers.
  12. Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, the reserved pepperoni or sausage slices, and 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional).
  13. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the cheese is golden brown.
  14. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Leftovers are great cold or reheated briefly in the microwave.
  15. For make-ahead meals (OAMC): Freeze individual portions in wrapped squares. Thaw for 60-90 seconds on half power in the microwave, then heat for 45-60 seconds on full power, turning halfway through. Heat for an additional 20-30 seconds if needed.
