This week’s kinda appetizer was inspired by the show “Weeds” quite awhile ago. In the first episode they talk about pizza eggs. And so it came to be that I couldn’t find a recipe and made it myself. Leftover pizza, eggs, and cheese, 3 things you are likely to find in my kitchen at any given time. It started as breakfast, then moved to lunch, and is now a frequent dinner, and in a pinch, when we get surprise guests, it makes a great appetizer!
Pizza Eggs
Ingredients
2 slices of pizza (off a 14″ or bigger pizza)
6 eggs
1 cup cheese
Butter or cooking spray to oil the pan
We had Chicago Style Deep Dish yesterday!
1. Cut pizza into 1/2″ cubes
2. In bowl whisk 6 eggs until smooth and well combined
3. Mix pizza cubes into egg mixture and coat well.
4. Let sit for 15 minutes
5. Head pan on medium and add butter or cooking spray if not a nonstick pan
6. Add egg and pizza mixture to the pan and stir until eggs are set and firm, be careful to not burn
7. Sprinkle cheese over eggs and let melt. Mix together
8. Take off heat and serve. Tastes amazing in tortillas taco or burrito style, you can even serve with tortilla chips for something a little different!
Now you may be expecting a picture of a delicious app here but here is the thing. Not everything comes out looking the way I want it to. This time, too much red sauce gave everything an unappealing pinkish tinge. Something that only tends to happen with Chicago Style Pizza. But still try it. It’s delicious!
