Pizza Breakfast Toast is loaded with hearty flavor. Easy to make with simple ingredients. A delicious meal for children and adults. Perfect recipe for extra sliced bread.
Pairs well with avocados, hash browns, tater tots and sliced fresh tomatoes.
I have always coated both sides of sliced bread in melted butter before toasting both sides in a skillet on top of the stove. Depending on my mood, sometimes the toast is dark brown (semi-charred) or lightly toasted as pictured. This method works for me because the toast is soft. Using the broiler or a toaster oven is good if you like crispy toast.
After flipping the skillet toast, sprinkle on shredded cheddar cheese It quickly melts while the bottom is browning. Placing shredded cheddar cheese on buttered/toasted bread tastes MUCH better than “un-toasted” in my opinion.
Who else LOVES chunky meat on pizza? For this recipe, I sprinkled chopped smoky bratwurst on top of the cheddar cheese and eggs. If you prefer smaller chunks, make it your way and enjoy every bite.
Who invented pizza?
Baker Raffaele Esposito from Naples is often given credit for making the first pizza pie. However, historians claim street vendors in Naples sold flatbreads with toppings many years before then.
Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889 and asked Esposito to make them a pizza. He topped the pizza with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. Today, that pizza is still known as Pizza Margherita.
Gennaro Lombardi opened G. Lombardi’s, the first United States pizzeria, in 1905. He opened his restaurant at 53 1/3 Spring Street in New York City. It is still open today using its original oven.

- Top with scrambled eggs.
- Top with about 3 tablespoons of cooked/scrambled sausage. Add more or less if desired.
- Sprinkle with remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. Add more or less if desired.
- Carefully place 4 slices of pizza toast in an ungreased cookie sheet or use an ungreased baking pan.
