Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms), diced

Other

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Cooked sausage, bacon bits, or pepperoni slices (for meat lovers)
  • Zucchini, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts (for vegetarian variation)
  • Jalapeños or red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Vegan cheese or garlic and fresh herbs (for dairy-free option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dice your chosen vegetables, then lightly sauté them in olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper until just tender. This brings out their sweetness and prevents sogginess in the final dish.
  2. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. This forms the rich base of your crustless pizza.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Fold the sautéed vegetables gently into the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed but not overmixed.
  4. Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the mixture is set and the top is slightly golden.
  5. Let It Rest and Serve: Allow the crustless pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This resting time helps it firm up for easier serving and highlights all the delicious flavors.

Notes

  • Use low-moisture cheese to prevent the dish from becoming watery and to keep a perfect gooey texture.
  • Don’t overload with watery vegetables to avoid sogginess; balance ingredients carefully.
  • Pre-cook any raw meats before adding to the mixture for food safety.
  • Season the egg mixture well before baking to avoid bland results.
  • Use a non-stick pan or greased baking dish to simplify cleanup and prevent sticking.
