Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 eggs
Toppings
- 60g (approx. 2 oz) reduced-fat cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp passata (about 15g)
- A few slices of salami (approx. 20g)
- Mixed herbs, to top
Instructions
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the 3 eggs into the pan and cook them gently until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or to your preferred doneness.
- Add Passata: Spoon 1 tablespoon of passata over the eggs, distributing it evenly to build the pizza base flavor.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle 60g of grated reduced-fat cheese over the eggs and passata, then place the salami slices on top of the cheese.
- Melt the Cheese: Cover the pan with a lid or foil and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt and the toppings to warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Finish with Herbs: Remove the lid, sprinkle mixed herbs over the eggs, and carefully slide the pizza eggs onto a serving plate.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can substitute salami with other cured meats or omit for a vegetarian option, but be mindful this changes the diet classification.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal from the skillet.
- Adjust the amount of passata and cheese to suit your taste preferences.
- Mixed herbs can include oregano, basil, or parsley for authentic pizza flavor.
- This dish works well as a quick breakfast or light lunch.
