Ingredients to Whip Up Pizza Eggs
- Eggs (3 large)
- Reduced-Fat Cheese (60g, approx. 2 oz), grated
- Passata (1 tbsp, about 15g)
- Salami (a few slices, approx. 20g)
- Mixed Herbs (to top)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Melt the Cheese Base
In a non-stick frying pan set over medium heat, sprinkle half of the grated cheese evenly across the bottom. Let it melt and brown slightly for about 2-3 minutes this step is essential for that gooey, cheesy base!
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
While the cheese is melting, crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk them vigorously until smooth and frothy. This incorporates air into the eggs to make them fluffy, so don’t skip this step!
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Pour the whisked eggs over the melted cheese in the pan. Cover with a lid and let cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom is firm and golden. You’ll want to keep an eye on it to avoid burning!
Step 4: Flip the Egg-Cheese Base
Now for the fun part! Carefully flip the egg-cheese base using a spatula, it’s okay if it’s not perfect! Cook the other side for another 3 minutes or until it looks beautifully golden.
Step 5: Add the Toppings
Spread the passata over the cooked side of the eggs, then add your salami slices and the remaining cheese on top. Cover the pan again and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through. Your kitchen should smell amazing by now!
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
This is it, the moment we’ve been waiting for! Carefully slide the Pizza Eggs out of the pan onto a cutting board, sprinkle with mixed herbs, and dig in immediately! It’s best enjoyed warm, alongside a fresh salad or some toasted bread.

Storage and Reheating
If you’ve got leftovers (which is a big if everyone loves this dish!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, simply pop it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until heated through. Alternatively, give it a quick sauté in a frying pan to bring back that freshness!
Freezer Friendly?
While I generally don’t recommend freezing Eggs, you can certainly prepare the base and toppings ahead, storing them separately in the freezer. Thaw them in the fridge overnight for easy assembly the next morning!
