Breakfast Pizza Egg Bites
Breakfast just got a major upgrade. These Breakfast Pizza Egg Bites bring together the best of two worlds — the comfort of a cheesy, saucy slice of pizza and the protein-packed power of eggs. With layers of spicy pepperoni, tangy marinara, rich Parmesan Reggiano, and chopped cherry peppers, each bite is like a flavor explosion in mini form.
Perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch spreads, these egg bites are easy to prep, fun to eat, and packed with flavor. They’re also super versatile — swap in veggies or turkey pepperoni, and they’re just as tasty. If you like your breakfast bold and satisfying, you’ll love these.
Before You Get Started
Grab a non-stick muffin tin or use silicone liners to avoid sticking. Pre-grate your cheese and finely chop the cherry peppers so layering is smooth. For quicker cleanup, prep all the components before cracking the eggs. A large mixing bowl and spatula will help mix and scoop efficiently.
What You’ll Need
Here’s your simple shopping list:
- 24 slices of pepperoni
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan Reggiano
- 10 cherry peppers (chopped)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- Salt and pepper
Let’s Make It
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or use silicone liners.
Place two slices of pepperoni at the bottom of each muffin cup.
