Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp salted butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 slices Leftover pizza discard crust, keep only cheese and sauce

Instructions

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a nonstick skillet and heat till bubbly.
  • Peel cheese and sauce off the top of leftover pizza. If a bit of bread comes up from the crust, that is fine, but try to avoid as much crust as possible.
    Two slices of cheese pizza, one mostly eaten, sit on a marble surface next to a plate with pizza crust and toppings scraps—perfect leftovers for making delicious Pizza Eggs the next morning.
  • In a separate dish, crack eggs and whisk vigorously.

  • Add butter and cheese to pan and add to medium high heat. We will just be lightly heating the cheese here – break up the cheese with a spatula as it heats so it can mix more easily with the eggs.
    Cooked ground meat with a pat of butter is heating in a black skillet on a marble countertop, ready to be transformed into savory Pizza Eggs.
  • Stir in whisked eggs and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until eggs naturally pull away from the nonstick pan and are just firm.
