Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
- Oregano and basil for seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy, creating a smooth egg base for the pizza.
- Pour the whisked eggs onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them evenly to create a thin, circular egg "crust" using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Place the egg base in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to set and the center is slightly firm but not completely cooked through.
- Remove the egg base from the oven and carefully spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Distribute the sliced pepperoni and diced bell peppers evenly across the cheese layer.
- Sprinkle dried oregano and basil over the toppings to enhance the flavor profile.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, and the egg base is fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set and the base to stabilize.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to create a smooth, uniform base that will cook evenly.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Don't overcook the initial egg base - it should be slightly firm but not completely set.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or red pepper flakes to your egg mixture.
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to help the base stabilize and make cutting easier.
- Experiment with different toppings to keep the recipe exciting and personalized.
- Use a non-stick baking sheet or well-greased surface to prevent the egg base from sticking.
- For a crispier base, you can briefly broil the pizza in the final minutes of cooking.
