This Paleo Breakfast Pizza Quiche has all the flavors you love about pizza, but made to be eaten at breakfast...or anytime of day. Hearty and delicious while being Whole30, gluten free, and dairy free.
Last week I got an awesome new cookbook, One Pot Paleo, with some amazing Paleo meals. I'm always looking for new ideas and dishes and that is exactly what this book is full of. I've read many Paleo cookbooks and this one stands out with totally unique dishes AND they are all made in one pot which equals less clean up! I love that every recipe has a picture. I guess the internet has spoiled me in that way and now it's hard for me to make a recipe without an image of an end result in my mind.
I would say pizza is one of the most missed foods on Paleo. This is the most pizza-like dish I've had and it is seriously delicious! I love how it is easily customizable. If you love olives and bacon on your pizza- add them!
How to make the Pizza Quiche
Here are the ingredients you'll need. Pizza sauce, eggs, mushrooms, coconut milk, pepperoni, green onion, roasted red peppers, and the seasonings.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl with the coconut milk. Mix well and add the seasonings. Add in the mushrooms, roasted red peppers, green onion, and pepperoni (I only added a little, saving most for the top).
Pour the mixture into the pan. I like to line mine with parchment paper. I have made so many pans of baked eggs and no matter how well I grease it, it always sticks so this is the only way I cook them now. It makes clean up so easy as well. Swirl the pizza sauce on top (I didn't get a picture of that). Top the eggs with the cut pepperoni and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, cut and enjoy!
I did a couple things differently than the recipe says, but nothing major. I used a couple extra eggs and made it in a larger dish and I left the pepperoni for the top because I think crispy pepperoni is the best! It took 10 minutes longer for mine to bake- I'm sure that's because of the extra eggs.
I will definitely be making this again! It is so easy and such a nice change from plain eggs. The flavors work perfectly together and my husband has declared these his favorite eggs ever.
Look at that sauce!! Yum!!
And that crispy pepperoni is so delicious!
You will definitely be looking forward to breakfast with this dish!

I made this a few times. It's so good. I like thin pizza crust so I just used one egg in a pan, waited a few then added my sauce and put on my toppings, put the lid on top for about 4 min. Yummm
One of the things I did different was sauté my vegetables a little first. It tasted just like a pizza. Never missed the cheese. Perfect Whole30!!

Thanks, Bonnie!

I made this recipe today. I couldn't make it the same way being without an oven. So I used two eggs and what I would use for a one serving and did it on top of the stove on low heat with a lid on top and it came out perfect slid right out of the pan on to my plate. It tasted outstanding and it'll be one of my regulars now! This makes my Whole30 very exciting!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for making it, Bonnie!
Bonnie Bauer says
I haven't made it yet but tomorrow is comin soon. I have all the ingredients. Yahoooo. Whole30 is so fun!
Stephanie says
This recipe is delicious! I made it last night and was so excited to wake up and taste this morning. I didn't have roasted red peppers, so I substituted crushed red pepper flakes. Pizza is my weakness...with this being healthy, it satisfies that craving! 🤤😊 Thanks for sharing!
Jessica DeMay says
You're welcome! Thanks for trying it, Stephanie! I'm so glad it satisfies your craving!

What is the nutrient breakdown?
Jessica DeMay says
I don't calculate that for my recipes. You can use a site like My Fitness Pal if you need to know.
Lynne says
Love this recipe. I used Boarhead turkey pepperoni and it really does make me feel like I’m enjoying a deep dish pizza!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Lynne! I'm so glad you like it!
Jennifer says
Hi there! I love your ideas for Whole 30 breakfasts. I am excited to try the pizza quiche and anything w breakfast sausage!
I went to a decent grocery store and was able to find paleo, no sugar added bacon, but could not find pepperoni without sugar/dextrose added. Do you have any specific brand to recommend? Also, The Aidell’s chicken sausage blends all had sugar in as an added ingredient. Did they change their recipe. I am so disappointed.
Thank you for your great recipes, I hope tomorrow will be a bacon and egg filled potato!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Jennifer! It is hard to find pepperoni- I have heard Applegate makes one, but I haven't seen it myself. This one does have dextrose in it so it's not compliant. You can use prosciutto for the crispiness if you want. Oh- I haven't checked Aidell's package in a few years so they probably did change it- bummer! Hopefully you find a good compliant one. They do seem to be easier to find now. Bilinski's and Brat Hans are two good brands. Hope that helps!
Kim says
I actually just picked up Applegate chicken sausage (the chicken and apple) and they did not have added sugar. The sugar came from the fruit juice which was listed in the ingredients.
Which ones were you looking at?
Bonnie says
I'm Whole30. I get the Hormel Natural Choice. Uncured and no sugar. You can get it at Walmart, Raleys,WinCo, Castco, Smiths, Albertsons....anywhere
Kayla says
What type of pepperoni did you use? I can’t find any whole30 approved brands.
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Kayla- I used Applegate which isn't technically Whole30. So leave it off and use prosciutto for Whole30.
