Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 8 quail eggs
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure the rack is positioned in the middle of the oven for even cooking.
- Place the pre-made pizza crust on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If the crust is cold, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for a crispy crust. Use the back of a spoon to create a smooth, uniform layer.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce, ensuring good coverage but not overcrowding the surface.
- Gently crack the quail eggs directly onto the cheese, spacing them evenly across the pizza. If preferred, you can crack them into a small bowl first to ensure no shell fragments fall onto the pizza.
- Dust the pizza with dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Watch carefully to ensure the quail eggs are cooked to your desired doneness - typically with slightly runny yolks.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set and the eggs to finish cooking from residual heat.
- Slice the pizza into 8 equal pieces, ensuring each slice has at least one quail egg. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- Preheat Properly: Always preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure that your pizza crust gets that perfect crispy texture.
- Let the Crust Breathe: If your pizza crust is cold, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before baking. This prevents cracking and helps it cook evenly.
- Layer Wisely: When spreading the tomato sauce, leave a small border around the edges for a deliciously crispy crust.
- Egg Cracking Technique: For a mess-free experience, crack the quail eggs into a small bowl first to avoid any shell fragments and then gently place them on the pizza.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep an eye on the pizza while it bakes! The quail eggs should be cooked to your liking, typically with slightly runny yolks for that perfect breakfast experience.
- Let it Rest: After baking, let the pizza rest for a few minutes. This allows the cheese to set and the eggs to finish cooking with residual heat, giving you that perfect slice.
- Serve Fresh: For the best taste, serve the pizza immediately while it's hot and fresh. Each slice should have at least one quail egg for that delightful breakfast bite!
