Ingredients
Units
Scale
Egg Base
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra 1/2 cup for topping)
- Optional: cheddar, parmesan, gouda mixed as desired
Sauce
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
Protein
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, chicken, or pepperoni (your choice)
Instructions
- Prep Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Whisk the Eggs and Seasonings: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning until fully combined and slightly frothy for lightness.
- Layer the Base Mixture: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish, then pour the egg mixture on top, sprinkling half the shredded cheese for a melty base.
- Add Toppings: Evenly distribute your chosen vegetables and protein over the layered egg and cheese. Be careful not to overfill to keep the pizza balanced and easy to slice.
- Top with Remaining Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top to create a golden, cheesy crust. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Let It Cool Slightly and Serve: Allow the crustless pizza to cool for 5 minutes so it firms up for easy slicing and serving. Then enjoy.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to easily remove the pizza and keep edges neat.
- Don’t overload toppings to avoid sogginess and ensure even cooking.
- Pre-cook proteins fully before adding to prevent undercooked bites.
- Let the pizza rest after baking to allow flavors to meld and firm up for perfect slices.
- Experiment with cheese blends like mozzarella mixed with parmesan or gouda for richer flavors.
