The image shows two small, round egg muffins on a white plate, each with a yellow base layer topped with red bell pepper pieces and green chopped herbs spread across the surface. Next to the plate is a clear plastic container lined with white parchment paper holding another egg muffin with the same toppings. Surrounding the food are small white bowls; one contains sliced red bell peppers and another filled with shredded white cheese. To the left, there is a carton holding six brown eggs, and a silver fork and knife rest on the edge of the plate. The items sit on a round wooden surface with a white marbled texture background visible at the edges. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

7 small eggs
1 tablespoon whole milk

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
18 slices turkey pepperoni

2 tablespoons fresh basil

Instructions

Step 1: Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk in the whole milk. Beat until the yolks are just blended.

Step 2: Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat (around 250°F). Place 3 circular rings or crumpet molds in the skillet. You may spray the inside of the rings with cooking spray if desired, but it is not necessary.
Step 3: Ladle about 2 spoonfuls of the egg mixture into each ring, filling them about halfway. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese and 3 to 4 slices of turkey pepperoni on top of each.
Step 4: Cook the egglets for 3 minutes, then cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked through.

Step 5: Carefully run a knife or silicone spatula along the inside edge of each ring to release the pizza egglets. Remove them gently and serve topped with fresh basil.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni and add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers instead.
Use different cheeses like cheddar or feta for varied flavors.

If you don’t have circular rings, you can use mini silicone muffin molds as an alternative.

Storage

Store leftover pizza egglets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or in a low oven to avoid overcooking the eggs.

How to Serve

The image shows three small round egg bites with a smooth pale yellow base, topped with uneven red bell pepper pieces and scattered green basil leaves. Two of these egg bites are placed side by side on a plain white plate, with a shining silver fork and knife resting above it. The third egg bite is inside a clear plastic container lined with white parchment paper. Nearby, there are two small white bowls—one filled with shredded white cheese and the other with red bell pepper slices. A six-pack of brown eggs in a white carton and a carton of eggs in white packaging are placed close to the wooden table, which has a smooth grainy pattern. The whole scene sits on a white marbled surface, creating a clean and fresh background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular pepperoni instead of turkey pepperoni?

Description

Enjoy these delightful Pizza Egglets, a savory twist on breakfast featuring fluffy eggs cooked with mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni inside circular molds, topped with fresh basil for a burst of flavor. Perfect for a quick and satisfying morning meal or a protein-packed snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

7 small eggs
1 tablespoon whole milk

Fillings and Toppings

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

18 slices turkey pepperoni
2 tablespoons fresh basil

Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture: Crack 7 small eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of whole milk. Whisk the mixture until the egg yolks are just blended, creating a smooth egg base for cooking.

Heat the Skillet and Prepare Molds: Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, maintaining a temperature around 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Position 3 circular rings or crumpet molds in the skillet; you may spray the inside of the rings with cooking spray for easier release, though it’s optional.
Add Egg Mixture and Fillings: Ladle approximately 2 spoonfuls of the egg mixture into each ring, filling them about halfway. Then, evenly distribute 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella and about 3 to 4 slices of turkey pepperoni across the three molds. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes.
Cover and Cook Fully: Cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked through and set.

Remove and Serve: Carefully run a knife or silicone spatula along the inside edges of the rings to release the Pizza Egglets. Remove them from the molds and serve topped with 2 tablespoons of fresh basil. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Using circular rings or crumpet molds helps keep the egglets uniform and neat during cooking.
Cooking at a moderate temperature of around 250°F prevents burning and ensures even cooking.

You can substitute turkey pepperoni with any preferred cooked deli meat or vegan alternative.
Spraying the molds with cooking spray is optional but can make removal easier.
Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
