Pizza Eggs
Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs
- ¼ Cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Slice Pepperoni Pizza
- 1 Tablespoon Salted Butter
Directions
- 1
In a small bowl beat eggs, cream, and salt with a fork or whisk until well combined.
- 2
Heat an 8" frying or sauté pan over low heat. Pre-warming the pan helps the eggs cook evenly.
- 3
As the pan warms, chop the pepperoni pizza into small 1/3" pieces. One slice of pizza should yield approximately 2/3 of a cup of chopped pizza.
- 4
Place the pizza on a small plate and gently warm it in a microwave, about 25 seconds on high power. Set aside.
- 5
Add the butter to the warmed pan and let it melt. Add the beaten egg mixture and wait to let the eggs set slightly. Then using a flexible or silicon spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the pan into the center as they set.
- 6
Add the pepperoni pizza and continue to gently move the eggs in the pan until they are set.
- 7
Divide the Pizza Eggs between two plates and serve.
