Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Toppings

  • 3 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Crack the eggs into a non-stick skillet or frying pan, spaced evenly apart to ensure each egg cooks properly.
  2. Add Passata: Spoon about one tablespoon of passata onto each egg, spreading gently without breaking the yolk, to impart that classic pizza tomato flavor.
  3. Add Salami: Place a few slices of salami over the eggs to add a savory and slightly spicy taste.
  4. Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the grated reduced-fat cheese over the eggs and toppings for a melty finish.
  5. Cook the Eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on medium-low heat until the eggs are cooked to your liking and the cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Finish with Herbs: Once cooked, sprinkle mixed herbs on top for freshness and aroma before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute salami with pepperoni or ham if preferred.
  • Use fresh tomatoes blended into a sauce if passata is unavailable.
  • Cooking times may vary based on your stove; watch the eggs closely to avoid overcooking.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the salami and add chopped peppers or mushrooms instead.
