Fluffy Tomato Egg Pizza

This recipe offers a unique approach to breakfast by utilizing a tortilla as the base for a savory egg pizza. By creating a fluffy egg layer on top of the tortilla, you’re essentially building a foundation for a flavorful and satisfying meal. The addition of fresh tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and melted cheese elevates this dish to a whole new level.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • Mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tortilla (flour or corn)
  • Cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Dried oregano
  • Butter (optional)
  • Fresh basil, arugula, or spinach (for garnish)

Equipment:

  • Frying pan
  • Lid

Instructions:

Preparing the Ingredients:

  1. Slice the Tomato: Cut the tomato into thin slices for even distribution on the pizza.
  2. Chop the Green Onion: Finely chop the green onion for a subtle yet flavorful addition.
  3. Prepare the Cheese: Grate the mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese (if using) for easy distribution.

Creating the Egg Base:

  1. Whisk the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Season the Eggs: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried oregano to the eggs and whisk to incorporate the flavors.

Assembling the Pizza:

  1. Heat the Pan: Place a frying pan over medium-low heat.
  2. Create the Base: Lay the tortilla in the heated pan.
  3. Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the whisked eggs evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Distribute Toppings: Sprinkle the green onion over the egg mixture. Top with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese (if using).
  5. Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Finishing Touches:

  1. Add Freshness: Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly over the cooked egg mixture. Season with additional salt, pepper, and oregano for enhanced flavor.
  2. Create a Crispy Edge: For a crispier crust, add a small amount of butter to the edges of the pan and cook for an additional minute or two until golden brown.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh basil, arugula, or spinach over the pizza for added freshness and visual appeal. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations:

  • Experiment with Toppings: Add your favorite pizza toppings, such as cooked bacon, sausage, or mushrooms.
  • Dietary Considerations: Use a whole-wheat tortilla for a healthier option. For vegan pizza, omit the cheese and use plant-based alternatives.
  • Flavor Boost: Drizzle a balsamic glaze over the finished pizza for a tangy twist.
