Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 60g (approx. 2 oz) reduced-fat cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp passata (about 15g)
- A few slices of salami (approx. 20g)
- Mixed herbs, to top (such as oregano or basil)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a heated non-stick pan over medium heat, ensuring the yolks remain intact for a pizza-like base.
- Add passata: Spoon the passata gently around the eggs, spreading it slightly without mixing into the yolks, mimicking a tomato sauce base.
- Sprinkle cheese: Evenly distribute the grated reduced-fat cheese over the eggs and passata to create the cheesy topping.
- Add salami slices: Lay a few slices of salami on top of the cheese, distributing them like pizza toppings.
- Cook to finish: Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook gently until the cheese melts and the eggs reach your preferred level of doneness (about 4-5 minutes for medium).
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle mixed herbs over the cooked eggs to enhance the flavor and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy cooking.
- You can substitute salami with other pizza toppings like ham, mushrooms, or peppers according to preference.
- For a spicier variation, add chili flakes or hot sauce on top.
- If you prefer softer yolks, cook for less time or remove the lid sooner.
- This dish is best served immediately for the freshest taste and texture.
