Turn Your Leftover Pizza Into Breakfast With This Recipe
Spoon UIUC teamed up with Food & Wine magazine to increase awareness about the problem of food waste on our campus. With a microgrant of just under $100, we created 10 original recipes to show you how you can transform leftover late-night eats into something equally amazing the next day.
As a college student, pizza is a main food group. We all get the occasion (or rather frequent) delivery at 3 am of a large cheese pizza for one. However, we sometimes get bored of the hum-drum leftover pizza heated up in the microwave. So instead of eating just any leftover pizza, why don’t you give it a little more PIZZAzz and make it an EGGcellent meal?

Ingredients
- 3 eggs

Step 1
Scrape the cheese and toppings off of the pizza. Discard the crust and bread part of pizza. Heat the toppings and milk in a small sauce pan over medium heat until they have combined to a soft consistency. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Whisk eggs, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and any veggies; for me, I added spinach and red bell pepper.
