Cooking Instructions
Here’s how to whip up these delightful Pizza Eggs in no time. It’s a straightforward process, and you’ll be enjoying a slice of pizza-inspired goodness before you know it!
1.
Prepare the Egg Base
First, crack your 3 large eggs into a medium-sized bowl. For a slightly lighter and fluffier texture, you can add a tiny splash of milk or water at this stage, about a teaspoon. Now, whisk the eggs vigorously with a fork or a whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined and you have a uniform, pnon-alcoholic ale yellow mixture. Season generously with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Don’t be shy with the pepper; it adds a lovely zing. Ensure everything is well incorporated. This step is crucial for an even cooking of the egg mixture.
2.
Infuse with Pizza Flavour
Next, add the 1 tablespoon of passata (or tomato purée) to the whisked eggs. This is where the pizza magic really begin extracts! Stir the passata into the egg mixture until it’s evenly distributed. You want to achieve a lovely pnon-alcoholic ale pink or orangey hue throughout the eggs. This will give your Pizza Eggs that signature tomato flavour reminiscent of pizza sauce. If you prefer a more intense tomato flavour, you can add a tiny bit more passata, but remember not to overdo it, as it could make the mixture too wet. Mix this in thoroughly.
3.
Add the Cheesy Goodness
Now it’s time for the cheese! Add the 60g of grated reduced-fat cheese into the egg and passata mixture. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs using your fork or spatula. You want to distribute the cheese evenly so that every bite of your Pizza Eggs gets a delightful cheesy component. The cheese will melt as the eggs cook, creating those irresistible cheesy pockets we all love on a pizza. Make sure the cheese is well incorporated but avoid overmixing, as we don’t want to break down the eggs too much.
4.
Assemble and Season
Take a non-stick frying pan or an oven-safe skillet and place it over medium-low heat. If your pan isn’t perfectly non-stick, you might want to add a tiny amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking, but often it’s not necessary. Pour the prepared egg mixture into the preheated pan. Spread it out evenly to create a relatively thin layer, like a mini pizza crust. Now, take your few slices of beef beef salami and artfully arrange them on top of the uncooked egg mixture. You can tear them into smaller pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference. Sprinkle a generous pinch of mixed herbs over the top. This is where you can really amp up the pizza aroma and flavour. Think oregano, basil, or even a ready-made pizza seasoning blend for that authentic taste.
5.
Cook to Perfection
This is the crucial cooking stage. Keep the heat on medium-low. You have two main options here:
Once cooked, carefully slide your Pizza Eggs onto a plate. You can cut it into wedges or simply enjoy it whole. Serve immediately for the best flavour and texture. These are fantastic on their own or can be paired with a light side salad for a complete meal. Enjoy your delicious homemade Pizza Eggs!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make Pizza Eggs ahead of time?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh for the optimal texture of the eggs, you can pre-chop your vegetables and grate your cheese in advance to speed up the cooking process. Reheating can sometimes make the eggs a little rubbery, so we recommend preparing the components and assembling/cooking just before serving.
What kind of pan is best for making Pizza Eggs?
A non-stick skillet is your best friend here. This will ensure that your Pizza Eggs don’t stick to the pan and make for easy flipping and serving. Cast iron skillets also work well, provided they are properly seasoned.
Are there any low-carb alternatives to the bread base?
Absolutely! If you’re looking to reduce carbs, you can skip the bread entirely and simply layer your toppings directly into the egg mixture. You can also explore using thin slices of zucchini or eggplant as a base, though these will require a little pre-cooking.
