Description
A quick and delicious breakfast pizza featuring seasoned eggs topped with fresh tomatoes, pepperoni, and melted mozzarella, cooked in a cast-iron skillet and finished under the broiler for a golden cheese crust.
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs (beaten well)
- Dash Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 slices tomato (quartered)
- 4 slices pepperoni (cut in half)
- 1 ounce mozzarella cheese (grated)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Grease an oven-safe 8-inch round high-sided skillet, preferably a seasoned cast-iron pan, to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Preheat pan and broiler: Heat the prepared skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the hot skillet. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the eggs.
- Add toppings: Once the eggs begin to set on the bottom but are still slightly runny on top, arrange the tomato slices, pepperoni halves, and grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Finish cooking eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the eggs to fully set and the toppings to warm through. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Brown the cheese: Place the skillet under the preheated broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully until the cheese melts and lightly browns to create a golden, bubbly crust. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a seasoned cast-iron skillet for best results and even heat distribution.
- Watch the broiler closely to prevent burning the cheese.
- Feel free to swap pepperoni for other breakfast meats like cooked sausage or bacon.
- Adjust Italian seasoning and salt to taste based on dietary needs.
- This recipe serves one but can be doubled for more servings using a larger skillet.
