Cooking steps for Egg Pizza

1
To start, gather all the necessary ingredients 4 eggs, 3 thinly sliced cherry tomatoes, 1 medium onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped capsicum, 2 thinly sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, and a pizza base.
2
You'll also need black pepper, salt, 1 tablespoon of refined oil, and some oregano for garnishing.
3
Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under running water. Once cleaned, finely chop the capsicum, onion, and mushrooms.
4
Slice the cherry tomatoes thinly and set them aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of refined oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low flame.
5
Add the chopped onions, capsicum, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes to the pan.
6
Mix them all and saut for just a few minutes until they become soft and lightly caramelized.
7
Stir occasionally, so that it cooks evenly. Once done, take the saut ed vegetables off the heat and let them cool for a while.
8
Crack the four eggs into individual bowls, to separate the egg yolks from the whites.
9
Next, in one of the bowls, pour the egg yolks together with the egg whites and gently whisk until well combined.
10
Add a little salt and black pepper and taste. These egg-mixed ingredients will act as a cream and flavour base for your pizza.
11
Place the pizza base on a flat surface or a baking tray. Spread the beaten egg mixture evenly over the pizza base, ensuring it covers all the edges.
12
Finally, distribute the saut ed vegetables uniformly over the egg layer. The vegetables should be spread evenly so that every bite tastes balanced with flavours.
13
Spread the toppings- Add the cheese on top of the vegetables and egg mixture. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese over the mixture.
14
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Now place the prepared pizza on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
15
Monitor the pizza so it doesn't get overcooked. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
16

17
Carefully take out the egg pizza from the oven and put it on a serving platter. Enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use a store-bought pizza crust for egg pizza?

You can use a store-bought pizza crust to make an egg pizza. This convenient option saves you time and still comes out well. You need to follow the package instructions on whether the crust should be pre-baked first, then place your toppings, including the eggs, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are cooked to your preference. For a more flavourful twist, you can use a flatbread or cauliflower crust as alternatives.

How do I cook the eggs on the egg pizza without overcooking them?

To ensure your eggs are cooked perfectly without becoming overcooked or rubbery, crack them onto the pizza after they have been pre-baked for a few minutes. Bake the pizza with the eggs for an additional 8-10 minutes, depending on the heat of your oven. This allows the whites to set while keeping the yolks runny. For a firmer yolk, bake the pizza for 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on the eggs while baking to achieve your level of doneness.

What toppings go well with egg pizza?

Eggs complement very well with a broad set of toppings, like crispy bacon, saut ed spinach, caramelised onions, mushrooms, or fresh herbs like basil or chives. And if you want something a bit more decadent, you can use mozzarella, parmesan, or goat cheese and add that in. I also think it's great to mix some sauces in and add a tomato base, pesto, or even a white sauce for an intensified taste.
