A New Take on Breakfast: Tiffani Thiessen’s Pizza for Breakfast Sandwich
For those mornings when the allure of cold leftover pizza calls your name, Tiffani Thiessen offers a gourmet upgrade that will make you rethink breakfast altogether. Presenting the Pizza For Breakfast Sandwich—a brilliant concoction that artfully combines the bold flavors of Parmesan cheese, prosciutto, ricotta, and zesty lemon.
Let’s be honest: pizza is universally adored, and many of us consider it a guilty pleasure for breakfast. But what Tiffani does is truly masterful. She ingeniously transforms your standard slice into a crispy, cheesy delight, by adding a Parmesan cracker on top, which not only enhances the taste but also introduces an irresistible crunch. And then there’s the crispy prosciutto—an elevated nod to the classic bacon that adds a perfect salty crunch.
Another star ingredient in this dish is the whole milk ricotta combined with the zest of a fresh lemon. It brings a creamy texture and bright, tangy notes, offering a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors. Topped with a perfectly fried egg, drizzled in Calabrian chili oil or red chili flakes, this sandwich truly embodies a burst of flavors and textures in every bite. The heat from the chili paired with the soft basil leaves ties everything together in a harmonious medley.
It’s evident that each component of this recipe has been thoughtfully selected, not just for taste but for texture too. When you take a bite, you experience the warmth of the reheated pizza, the creamy texture of ricotta, the slight bitterness of the basil, the runny goodness of the egg, and the crispy perfection of prosciutto and Parmesan cracker.
What’s most appealing about this recipe is its versatility. While it’s deemed a breakfast sandwich, it can be enjoyed any time of day. Imagine savoring this on a lazy Sunday brunch or even for a delightful dinner twist. It’s that flexible and, undoubtedly, that delicious.
In “Here We Go Again,” Tiffani Thiessen pushes the culinary boundaries, making us reimagine the potential of leftovers. And this Pizza for Breakfast Sandwich? It’s a testament to her innovation, proving that with a little creativity, yesterday’s dinner can be today’s breakfast masterpiece. If this doesn’t inspire you to check out the rest of her cookbook, I don’t know what will!

Tiffani Thiessen’s Pizza for Breakfast Sandwich
This recipe is from Tiffani's cookbook: 'Here We Go Again: Recipes and Inspiration to Level Up Your Leftovers'
Ingredients
- 4 Large Slices of Cold Leftover Pizza
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices prosciutto about 2-ounces
- ¼ cup Whole milk ricotta
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Flakey salt & Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 Eggs, Large
- Calabrian chili oil or red chili flakes
- 12 Fresh Basil Leaves torn
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375F/190C, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Arrange the pizza slices on the prepared baking sheets so that there is plenty of room between the slices. Next, you're going to create what will become the top for each sandwich, the Parmesan cracker. Begin by sprinkling ¼ cup of the choose along the longest edge of a pizza slice. Use your fingers to spread the cheese into a thin, even layer along the entire edge of the pizza and then continue spreading out the cheese until it forms a half-moon. (The edge of the pizza will be the base of the half-moon.) Repeat with the remaining slices of pizza and the remaining Parmesan, Lay the slices of prosciutto in a singe layer in between the pizza slices and cheese so that they are directly on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15-minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown around the edges, the pizza heated through, and the prosciutto is crispy. Let everything sit for 5-minutes so the Parmesan sets and crisps up even more.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the ricotta and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Crack an egg into a small bowl and then pour the egg into the pan. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Season each egg with a pinch of salt and cook until the whites have set, about 2 minutes. Drizzlew each egg with chili oil(if using red chili flakes, wait to add them) and continue frying until the edges are browned and the yolk is cooked to merdium, about another 2-minutes. Transfer eggs to plate.
-
Carefully flip the pizza slices onto plates. It's okay if some of the frico cracks! Divide the ricotta evenly among the slices and spread it over the pizza. Add the torn basil over the top, followed by a fried egg. If you're using red chili flakes, sprinkle them over the top of the eggs. Finish with the crispy prosciutto and gently fold the Parmesan cracker over the pizza like you're closing a book. Serve immediately.
