I just love breakfast foods and I don’t limit them strictly to the morning either. As a matter of fact, my family always enjoys breakfast for dinner! There are so many different meals you an make with a few eggs, some meat and fresh vegetables that can become a satisfying meal anytime of day.
Yesterday when I was at the grocery store, I picked up a few large loaves of french bread to make pepperoni pizzas. I was about to put the extra loaves in the freezer for a different day when I had an idea for breakfast! With a little left over ham in the refrigerator from Easter, I could make a yummy breakfast pizza! This French Bread Breakfast Pizza is easy to make, inexpensive and feeds a crowd! The chewy, french bread is layered with sharp cheddar cheese, diced ham, scrambled eggs, onion and pepper, then baked in the oven to melt everything and get it nice and toasted. I ended up serving this pizza for lunch and it went well with the fresh fruit I had on hand! If you are looking for a simple meal, grab a loaf of french bread from your local bakery and surprise your family with this delicious pizza!
Here’s what I did:
Gather the ingredients.
Saute the onion and pepper in a little butter.
After a few minutes, the onion and pepper should be softened and you can pour in the beaten eggs and scramble.
Preheat your oven, slice your french bread in half and start layering on the toppings.
All ready to go into the oven!
After the pizzas come out of the oven, place carefully on a cutting board and slice.
Serve with fresh fruit and orange juice and enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe! I love that you can slice the bread into small pieces so the egg breakfast becomes “finger food.”
