Although I ate these for lunch and dinner too, I think it’s only fitting to name this breakfast calzone just because I added scrambled eggs. I didn’t have enough pepperonis and my stash of hams are in my freezer, I also didn’t have enough patience to thaw the ham. Adding the scrambled eggs just reminds me of the time I burnt my tongue eating hot pockets.
As I said it before and I will repeat this over and over til the day I die, the great thing about home cooking is you get to customize everything. You can add veggies or make this vegetarian or vegan, they all will come out delicious. Dip them in marinara sauce, cheese sauce, tzatziki if you will. You are the mood of your own food. So give this thing a try and you’re welcome.
