At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How to Make Spanish Pizza Eggs
First assemble the following ingredients:
- Eggs (3) – Eggs create the rich, protein-packed base for this savory breakfast dish.
- Marinara (6 tbsp) – Marinara sauce adds bold, tangy tomato flavor reminiscent of classic pizza.
- Mozzarella cheese (¼ cup) – Shredded or torn mozzarella melts into gooey, creamy pockets of cheesy goodness.
- Pepperoni (6 slices) – Pepperoni brings a salty, spicy kick that makes these eggs taste like pizza.
- Fresh basil (2 tbsp) – Fresh basil adds a fragrant, herbaceous finish that brightens each bite.
Prep
Assemble the ingredients and heat the butter in a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Keep the lid handy.
Crack the eggs into the pan and wait just a few seconds for the bottom to cook and turn white.
Cook
Place the marinara sauce around the egg yolks and the mozzarella cheese on top. Place the lid on your pan and let the steam cook melt the cheese and cook the egg yolks on top.
Remove the lid and place pepperonis on the eggs. You can broil the pizza eggs in the oven if you want a brown top or simply top with salt, pepper, and fresh basil or whatever you like! Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Spanish eggs
Mix it up. You can add other pizza inspired toppings to this recipe. My personal favorite combination is extra cheese, mushroom and sausage- it works beautifully with the eggs!
Use a non-stick skillet. Eggs are extremely sticky and likely to get stuck so make our life easier by using a nonstick or cast-iron skillet. I prefer hexclad hybrid pans.
Add seasonings. If you want more flavor try sprinkling some onion and garlic powder or oregano on the top of your keto pizza eggs.
Turn up the Heat. If you want a little heat try adding a dusting of red pepper flakes just like you would on a pizza.
FAQs
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I prefer to make these fresh though.
Start with a very hot pan and add the sauce and cheese quickly. The sooner you get the lid on the sooner the cheese can melt, if you are quick the yolks will have just set by the time the cheese is melted.
Yes! The best way to achieve this is to place the pan in the oven on broil for 2-3 minutes instead of placing the lid back on the pan. The oven will deliver high heat to the cheese but may overcook the egg yolks in the process. Be sure to use an oven safe pan.
Yes, use dairy-free cheese or skip the cheese and load up on toppings like veggies or meat.
Use a thick marinara sauce and add it just before serving or heat it separately.
Fresh basil, oregano, thyme, or Italian seasoning all enhance the pizza flavor.
