Description
Pizza Eggs are a quick, protein-packed breakfast or snack that combines the flavors of classic pizza — melted cheese, tomato sauce, and your favorite toppings — all cooked together with fluffy scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Optional toppings: sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny.
- Add pizza sauce and gently swirl it into the eggs without fully mixing.
- Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and your desired toppings evenly over the eggs.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide onto a plate, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a crispier pizza vibe, top the cooked eggs with cheese and place under a broiler for 1 minute.
- Use egg whites or substitute plant-based eggs for a lighter or vegan version.
- Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick low-carb pizza craving fix.
