Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
Meat
- 10 slices pepperoni
Eggs
- 4 eggs eggs
Sauce
- 0.25 cup pizza sauce
Seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cheese
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 10 slices pepperoni and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pepperoni and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add ¼ cup pizza sauce to the skillet and warm it gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully crack 4 eggs directly into the sauce, spacing them evenly. Cover and cook until the whites are mostly set but are still slightly runny (about 4-5 minutes).
- Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, crispy pepperoni, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning over the eggs. Cover for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the egg whites finish cooking.
Notes
These are best enjoyed fresh but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a nonstick skillet over low heat until warmed through. Use the pepperoni fat for rich flavor and prevent sauce splatters by lowering the heat before adding the sauce.
