Veggie Pizza Skillet Eggs
Veggie Pizza Skillet Eggs are inspired by the Middle Eastern dish - Shakshuka. These skillet eggs taste like a veggie pizza topped with eggs. A delicious and hearty breakfast.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
for veggie pizza skillet eggs
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 7 buttons shitake mushrooms sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper sliced
- 1/2 jalapeno deseeded & sliced
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- pinch of salt not too much since olives, cheese, & marinara sauce are salty
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cups marinara sauce I love Rao's brand
- 4 eggs you can add up to 6
- 10 kalamata olives sliced
- 1/2 cup mozarella cheese
for garnish
- Oregano - 1/2 tsp rub and sprinkle for garnish
- Red Crushed Pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Slice & chop up the onion, peppers, jalapeno, and mushrooms.
- This is what you should have.
- Heat up a cast-iron skillet on medium heat, once hot add oil. Add the mushrooms and cook them for about 5 minutes until slightly brown.
- Add the peppers, onions, jalapeno, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onions and peppers are translucent.
- Add the fresh spinach leaves.
- The spinach will wilt down in about a minute.
- Add the sauce at this time. Stir.
- Cover with a lid and allow the sauce to heat up for about 5 minutes.
- Now make 4 wells.
- Crack an egg in each well. You can use up to 6 eggs, I used 4.
- Cover with a lid and the steam will cook the eggs. I cooked mine for about 7 minutes since I don't like runny eggs. For runny eggs, cook for 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, slice the olives and get your mozzarella cheese ready.
- Eggs are done. Top with olives and cheese.
- Cover with a lid for a 1-2 minutes until cheese is set.
- Done. Garnish with crushed pepper flakes and oregano (rub between your fingers).
- Serve with bread, pita bread, or alone for a low-carb & gluten-free option.
Notes
* For the Marinara Sauce - I used Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce, feel free to use a sauce you love, or you can make it from scratch.
** For the Eggs - you can use up to 6 eggs for this dish. You can also use egg whites if you prefer a dish that is less fattening.
