When you crave pizza, you might plan to savor every slice in one sitting. However, if your stomach is satisfied ahead of schedule, it’s good to know what to do with your leftovers. Reheating last night’s pizza in the microwave or toaster oven are always valid options, but why not use some creativity to reinvent the dish? If you’re looking for a way to mix fun with flavor, here are three unique ways to make the most of your leftover pizza.

3 Delicious Ideas for Pizza Leftovers

1. Pizza Quiche

To make this dish, start by cutting three slices into half-inch pieces. Next, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and take out a frozen pie crust to thaw. Once the crust has softened, place it in a pie dish. If you’d like to add ingredients such as ground beef and onions, grill them in a skillet first. In a mixing bowl, combine your freshly cooked ingredients with the pizza slices, five eggs, one cup of spinach, and three ounces of shredded cheese.

Once all ingredients are mixed well, pour them into the pie crust. Cover the dish with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. After half an hour is up, remove the foil from the pan while leaving the edges covered. Cook the quiche for 15 more minutes, slice, and serve.

2. Press In a Waffle Maker

If you want to avoid soggy slices, using a waffle maker to reheat your pizza is a great and easy alternative to the microwave. Cut up a slice and fold it so that it fits on the waffle iron. Next, close the press and cook for several minutes until the outer crust is crispy and warm. This “waffle” pizza will have a satisfyingly crunchy texture that’s perfect for a savory breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

3. Layer Into Lasagna

When making this dish, you’ll follow the same general steps as when you prepare lasagna. But instead of using noodles, you’ll use pizza.

First, preheat the oven to 350. Next, cut the pizza slices into strips. After coating the base of a baking pan with tomato sauce, put down a layer of pizza strips, followed by layers of ricotta cheese and sauce. Repeat the layering until the dish is full. Bake for 30 minutes with foil cover, then another 15 minutes without foil. Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before cutting into the cheesy goodness.
