A simple egg casserole with all the flavors of pepperoni pizza; Pizza for breakfast!
Egg casseroles are super easy to make and are great for breakfast (or even dinner) and this chili pizza casserole is one of my favorites! The basics behind the egg casserole are the egg and dairy mixture that hardens during cooking, and I like to go with cottage cheese for dairy in mine. In addition to eggs and cottage cheese, there is Mozzarella, pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, sliced olives, and a pinch of oregano, half of which is mixed into the eggs, and the rest is sprinkled like a Pizza. After baking, I like to serve this chilli Pizza egg casserole with a little hot pizza sauce and any leftovers nicely in the fridge for a quick breakfast the next day!
