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.
