Pizza Eggs

Who says you can’t have pizza for breakfast? Or lunch? Or even a quick, satisfying dinner? My Pizza Eggs recipe is a fantastic way to get all the delicious flavours of your favourite pizza without all the doughy effort. It’s quick, incredibly adaptable, and uses just a handful of simple ingredients. Think of it as a deconstructed pizza, with fluffy eggs taking the place of the crust, all topped with melted cheese, savoury beef salami, and that classic pizza tang. This is a recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings when you crave something a little more exciting than plain scrambled eggs, or for a light evening meal when you don’t want to commit to a whole pizza. It’s also a brilliant way to use up small amounts of ingredients like leftover beef salami or a sprinkle of cheese. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 60 g reduced-fat cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend works beautifully)
  • 1 tbsp passata (or smooth tomato sauce)
  • A few slices of beef beef salami (or your preferred cured meat)
  • Mixed herbs (dried oregano, basil, or an Italian blend are perfect)
  • A tiny pinch of salt (optional, as beef salami can be salty)
  • A tiny grind of black pepper (optional)
  • A little oil or butter for greasing the pan

    • Cooking Instructions:

    Preparation Steps:

  • First, let’s get our ingredients ready. This recipe comes together so quickly, so having everything prepped beforehand will make the cooking process even smoother. Crack your 3 eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add a tiny pinch of salt if you’re not using very salty beef salami, and a grind of black pepper if you like a little warmth.
  • Now, it’s time to whisk those eggs. Use a fork or a whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are thoroughly combined. You want a uniform yellow colour with no streaks of white remaining. This ensures even cooking and a lovely, fluffy texture for your Pizza Eggs. Don’t over-whisk to the point of making them foamy, just a good, solid mix is perfect.
  • Next, prepare your toppings. Take your few slices of beef beef salami and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. You want them small enough to distribute evenly throughout the eggs and to be easily eaten with a fork. If you have a larger circular beef salami, you might cut it into quarters and then chop those pieces. If you’re using smaller beef salami, a simple chop will do.
  • Grate your 60g of reduced-fat cheese. If you’re using pre-grated cheese, that’s perfectly fine too. Having the cheese ready to go means you can sprinkle it over the eggs at the ideal moment to get that beautiful, melted, stringy finish we all love. I find a mix of cheddar and mozzarella gives a great flavour and melt.
  • Measure out your 1 tablespoon of passata. This is our flavourful tomato base, bringin extractg that essential pizza taste. If you don’t have passata, a smooth, thick tomato sauce or even a tablespoon of good quality ketchup (though passata is preferred for its pure tomato flavour) can work in a pinch.

    • Cooking the Pizza Eggs:

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to lightly grease the pan. You don’t want too much, just enough to prevent the eggs from sticking and to help them brown slightly. Once the pan is warm – you’ll feel a gentle heat radiating from it – pour in your whisked eggs.
  • Let the eggs begin extract to set around the edges. As they start to form a soft curd, gently push the cooked edges towards the centre with your spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process, gently folding and moving the eggs, until they are about halfway cooked – still quite wet and glossy. This technique helps create a lovely, fluffy omelette-like consistency rather than flat, overcooked scrambled eggs.
  • Now, it’s time to add our pizza toppings! Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of passata evenly over the surface of the partially cooked eggs. Scatter the chopped beef beef salami pieces over the passata. Then, sprinkle the grated cheese generously over the top. Finally, sprinkle your mixed herbs over everything. The warmth from the eggs will start to melt the cheese and soften the beef salami.
  • Reduce the heat to low, or even cover the pan with a lid if you have one. Let the Pizza Eggs cook gently until the cheese is completely melted and gooey, and the eggs are cooked through to your liking. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs, and the lid will help the cheese melt beautifully without overcooking the bottom. You’re looking for that satisfying melted cheese stretch! This usually takes just a couple more minutes.
  • Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through, carefully slide the Pizza Eggs onto a plate. The beauty of this dish is its simplicity and speed. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the delicious fusion of flavours. It’s a fantastic standalone dish, or you could serve it with a small side salad for a complete and healthy meal.
