Is there anything better than pizza? For breakfast?! Well, let’s be honest – this is far from the real thing. But if you’re looking for a great make-ahead, paleo/Whole30, delicious breakfast that you can quickly reheat for a healthy meal on the go, you need this Paleo Pizza Breakfast Casserole in your life.
What Ingredients do I need to make this casserole?
You have the option of using any sausage you have on hand, or homemade turkey sausage (directions included below). If you’re doing a Whole30, make sure to use a sugar and nitrate free brand of both sausage and pepperoni. You can also omit the pepperoni if you can’t find any without sugar or dextrose. Prosciutto would also be a lovely addition to the top! I used salami in these photos. I love the sugar-free Whole30 compliant sausage from Butcher Box – a monthly meat delivery service which brings grass-fed meat, heritage breed pork, and organic chicken right to your door!

You can also switch up the ingredients using whatever you have on hand – feel free to get creative with whatever “pizza” toppings you want! I topped this with some ranch dressing and it was amazing. It lasts for up to 5 days in the fridge, so if you make it on a Sunday, you should be good for the week.
This is also a great make-ahead meal for Christmas morning, holiday gatherings, brunch, etc.

The flavors in this are so good! I added some mozzarella because I can do cheese. I’m excited to have breakfast ready to go for the week! It was simple to put together as well.
So glad you enjoyed it!
This casserole was so delicious and a great change from all other breakfast casseroles. The pepperoni on top was the best addition. Highly recommend if you are tired of the same old breakfast casseroles!
