Pizza Eggs
A quick and easy dish that combines melty cheese, runny eggs, and pizza flavors in one pan, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 3 pieces eggs Any size large eggs work.
- 60 grams reduced-fat cheese, grated Can substitute with regular cheese.
- 1 tablespoon passata Can substitute with tomato sauce or thinned tomato paste.
- 20 grams salami, sliced Can substitute with turkey salami or omit for a vegetarian version.
- to taste mixed herbs Dried mixed herbs or Italian seasoning work well.
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and sprinkle half the grated cheese evenly across the pan to form a thin layer.
- Let the cheese melt and cook until the edges turn golden and slightly crisp.
- While the cheese melts, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour the whisked eggs gently over the melted cheese layer, immediately reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the pan.
- Cook until the egg bottom sets and turns lightly golden but the top still looks slightly soft.
- Carefully flip the egg-cheese base using a spatula, or fold it in half if preferred.
- Spread the passata over the cooked side, arrange salami slices on top, and sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly.
- Cover the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes more until the cheese melts and the toppings are heated through.
- Slide the Pizza Eggs onto a plate, top with mixed herbs, and serve hot.
Notes
For variations, replace salami with cherry tomatoes for a Margherita-style, add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or incorporate veggies for a boost. Serve with buttered toast, salad, or olives for added flavor.
