Description
Pizza Eggs is a quick, protein-packed breakfast that combines fluffy eggs with classic pizza flavors like mozzarella, pepperoni, and savory sauce in one skillet.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
2 tablespoons pizza sauce
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped onion
4 slices pepperoni
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in pizza sauce and oregano, cooking for about 1 minute to combine flavors.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and black pepper until well mixed.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom begins to set.
- Gently lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When eggs are almost set, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and add pepperoni slices.
- Cover the skillet and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until cheese melts and eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide onto a plate, slice if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Swap pepperoni with cooked chicken, turkey, or olives for variation.
For a vegetarian version, omit meat and add extra vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
Try different cheeses such as cheddar or provolone for a richer flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the eggs and making the cheese rubbery.
