Cooking Instructions:
Prepare Your Toppings: Before we even think about the eggs, let’s get our delicious pizza toppings ready. For the beef beef salami, I like to give it a rough chop. This helps to distribute the flavor more evenly throughout the eggs and makes it easier to eat. If your beef salami slices are quite large, you might want to cut them into quarters or even smaller pieces, depending on your preference. If you have any other favorite pizza toppings that you’d like to sneak in – perhaps some finely diced bell pepper or onion that you’ve pre-sautéed – now would be the time to prepare those too. The key is to have everything ready to go so that the cooking process is seamless. For the cheese, if you’re using a block, give it a quick grate. Pre-shredded cheese is also perfectly fine and will save you a step! Make sure your mixed herbs are to hand; dried herbs are excellent for this recipe as their flavor intensifies when heated.
Whisk the Eggs and Season: In a medium-sized bowl, crack your three eggs. I like to use a fork or a whisk to beat them thoroughly. You want to break up the yolks and whites until they are well combined and a uniform pnon-alcoholic ale yellow color. This ensures that the eggs cook evenly and don’t have distinct streaks of yolk and white. Now, it’s time for seasoning. Add a good pinch of your mixed herbs directly into the eggs. If you like a little kick, you could also add a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes at this stage. Don’t be shy with the herbs; they are crucial for that distinct pizza flavor! Give the mixture another quick whisk to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed. You can also add a tiny pinch of salt and pepper if you like, but remember that the beef salami and cheese will also add saltiness, so taste as you go if you’re unsure.
Sear the Beef Salami and Add the Passata: Grab a non-stick frying pan and place it over medium heat. You don’t need to add any oil if your pan is truly non-stick; the fat from the beef salami will render out. Add your chopped beef beef salami to the hot pan. Let it sizzle and crisp up slightly for about a minute or two. This step is important because it releases the delicious savory oils from the beef salami, which will infuse the eggs with fantastic flavor. Once the beef salami is starting to look a little golden around the edges, add the tablespoon of passata to the pan. Stir it around with the beef salami for about 30 seconds. The passata will warm through and its bright tomato flavor will start to develop. This creates a lovely base for our “pizza” eggs.
Incorporate the Eggs and Cheese: Now for the star of the show – the eggs! Pour your whisked egg mixture directly over the beef salami and passata in the frying pan. Immediately reduce the heat to low. This is crucial for preventing the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery. Let the eggs start to set around the edges. Once you see the edges begin extractning to firm up, gently push the cooked egg towards the center of the pan with a spatula, tilting the pan so that the uncooked egg flows to the edges. Continue this process until the eggs are about halfway cooked, still quite wet on top but starting to form a cohesive layer. Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheese evenly over the top of the eggs. The residual heat will start to melt the cheese beautifully.
Finish Cooking and Serve: Continue to cook on low heat, allowing the eggs to set completely and the cheese to melt into a gooey, delicious topping. You can cover the pan with a lid for the last minute or two if you want to speed up the melting of the cheese and ensure the eggs are cooked through without overcooking the bottom. The goal is for the eggs to be cooked to your desired doneness – some people prefer them slightly runny in the middle, while others like them fully set. Once the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully slide the Pizza Eggs onto a plate. Garnish with an extra pinch of mixed herbs if you like, or even a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy your incredibly flavorful and quick pizza-inspired breakfast! This recipe is so satisfying and makes for a fantastic start to any day.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make Pizza Eggs ahead of time?
While Pizza Eggs are best enjoyed fresh and hot from the oven, you can prepare some components ahead. You can chop your veggies and grate your cheese the day before. The assembled dish is best baked just before serving to ensure the eggs are perfectly cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
What kind of pan is best for Pizza Eggs?
A small oven-safe skillet, like cast iron or a ceramic-coated pan, works wonderfully. This allows you to easily transfer the pan from the stovetop to the oven, ensuring even cooking and a beautifully melted topping. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can use a regular non-stick pan and then carefully transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe dish before baking.
