Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 2 ounces reduced-fat cheese, grated
Supporting Ingredients:
- 15 grams passata
- 20 grams salami
Garnish:
- Mixed herbs
Instructions
- Whisk 3 eggs in a medium bowl until lightly blended, seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until surface is evenly heated.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, allowing them to spread across the pan’s surface for 1-2 minutes.
- Distribute 2 oz of reduced-fat grated cheese evenly across the eggs’ surface.
- Drop small spoonfuls of 1 tablespoon passata across the cheese, creating random sauce patches.
- Slice 20g of salami into thin strips and scatter them strategically over the eggs.
- Sprinkle a pinch of mixed herbs across the entire skillet surface for added flavor.
- Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 3-4 minutes at medium heat until cheese melts completely.
- Check egg doneness by gently lifting an edge – eggs should look set but still slightly soft in center.
- Slide the pizza eggs onto a warm plate, ensuring all toppings remain intact during transfer.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or provolone for a more authentic pizza flavor.
- Swap salami for vegetarian pepperoni or roasted vegetables if cooking for plant-based diets.
- Use a low-heat setting to prevent eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Choose fire-roasted passata for a deeper, richer tomato taste that enhances the pizza-like profile.
