Cooking Instructions
Let’s get started on creating these little bites of pizza-inspired heaven. The process is simple and should only take about 15-20 minutes from start to finish, depending on your stovetop and how quickly you prep.
1. Prepare Your Toppings: The first step is all about getting your pizza elements ready to go. Take your beef beef salami slices and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. You want them small enough to distribute evenly throughout the eggs and to ensure they cook through nicely. If your cheese isn’t already grated, now’s the time to do that. Having everything prepped before you start cooking makes the whole process smoother and prevents any last-minute scrambling.
2. Whisk the Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, crack your three large eggs. Add a tiny pinch of salt and pepper if you like, though the beef salami and cheese will bring plenty of flavor. Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are thoroughly combined and slightly frothy. You want a consistent, pnon-alcoholic ale yellow mixture. Don’t overbeat them, but ensure there are no streaks of yolk or white left. This aeration helps create a lighter texture for your Pizza Eggs.
3. Infuse with Tomato and Herbs: Now, we’re going to bring in those quintessential pizza flavors. Add the tablespoon of passata (or tomato puree) to your whisked eggs. Stir it in gently until the eggs have a faint pink hue. This will give your Pizza Eggs a subtle tomato base. Next, sprinkle in your mixed herbs. The aroma alone will start to transport you to your favorite pizzeria! Stir everything together once more, ensuring the herbs and passata are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
4. Cook the Beef Salami and Start the Eggs: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is warm, add your chopped beef beef salami. Cook the beef salami for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to release some of its oils and becomes slightly crispy. This step is crucial for developing that savory, meaty flavor. Once the beef salami is looking good, pour your seasoned egg mixture directly into the skillet over the beef salami. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30-60 seconds, allowing the bottom to start setting.
5. Scramble and Melt the Cheese: Now, using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges of the eggs towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this gentle scrambling motion, breaking up larger curds as you go. You’re aiming for a texture that’s somewhere between a soft scramble and a frittata, with little pockets of cooked egg. When the eggs are about 80% cooked – still slightly wet but no longer liquid – it’s time for the cheese. Sprinkle the 60g of reduced-fat cheese evenly over the top of the eggs.
6. Finish Cooking and Serve: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid (or a plate if you don’t have one that fits), and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. The steam trapped by the lid will help cook the top of the eggs through without overcooking the bottom. Once the cheese is perfectly melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking (I prefer mine still slightly soft and creamy), gently slide your Pizza Eggs onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy the amazing combination of fluffy eggs, savory beef salami, melted cheese, and a hint of tomato and herbs. It’s a pizza party in every bite!

Don’t be afraid to get creative! Try adding some spinach, mushrooms, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat. This Pizza Eggs recipe is so forgiving, it’s hard to go wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make Pizza Eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you absolutely can! You can prepare the base mixture of eggs, cheese, and toppings (minus the pizza sauce and any delicate herbs) the night before and store it in the refrigerator. In the morning, simply pour it into your muffin tin or baking dish and bake as directed. You might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time since it will be starting from a colder temperature.
What kind of pizza sauce should I use?
Any pizza sauce you enjoy will work beautifully! Whether you prefer a classic marinara, a spicy arrabbiata, or even a white garlic sauce, the key is to use something you love the taste of. Just remember to use a thicker sauce to prevent the eggs from becoming too watery. If your sauce is very thin, you can simmer it for a few minutes to reduce it slightly before adding it to the eggs.
Can I add meat to my Pizza Eggs?
Absolutely! Cooked and crum extractbled Italian sausage, beef pepperoni, beef ham, or even cooked beef bacon are fantastic additions. Just make sure to cook any raw meats thoroughly before adding them to the egg mixture to ensure they are safe to eat.
