Pizza Breakfast Toast is loaded with hearty flavor. Easy to make with simple ingredients.
Perfect recipe for leftover 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.
This variation is for meat lovers. 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.

Pizza Breakfast Toast
Ingredients
Method
- In medium bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder (if using), onion powder (if using) and Italian seasoning. Melt butter or margarine in a large cast iron skillet or pan over low-medium heat.
- Brush both sides of sliced bread with butter mixture. You will have 4 slices of "buttered" bread. Coat 4 slices of bread on both sides with melted butter.
- Place four slices in a large pan on top of stove. "Lightly" brown over low-medium heat.
- Flip over. Toast until "light" golden brown (about 1 minute). Turn OFF heat.
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over top of each slice of bread.
- 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.
- Place under broiler for 1 minute or until cheese is melted. Watch closely to prevent edges of toast from burning.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (optional) and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (optional). Serve hot.
