I often reach for this recipe when I'm out of breakfast ideas. Scrambled eggs, a seemingly familiar breakfast choice, take on a new flavour, turning even the pickiest eaters into happy plate-cleaners.

What do scrambled eggs and pizza have in common? As it turns out, quite a lot. The word "pizza" magically stimulates children's appetites, leaving breakfast plates sparkling clean. Just combine a few simple ingredients to serve a familiar breakfast in a less familiar guise.

Scrambled eggs à la pizza

If you have leftover deli meats in the fridge, and you've found some slightly stale bread in the bread box? Add cheese, eggs, and create a dish that doesn't taste like leftovers at all. Unusual additions will spice up the scrambled eggs and make them resemble everyone's favourite pizza.

This recipe is a remedy for the frequent question: what to make for breakfast today? My mum invented this scrambled egg dish years ago when a love of pizza possessed everyone. Back then, the phrase "pizza-style scrambled eggs" instantly sparked the imagination and ended all grimaces over breakfast.

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs,
  • 1-2 slices of bread (depending on size),
  • Grated yellow cheese,
  • Your favourite deli meat or sausage,
  • Half a small onion,
  • 1 clove of garlic,
  • 1-2 tablespoons of canned corn,
  • Half a tomato,
  • Salt and pepper to taste,
  • Oil for frying.

How to make:

  1. Cut the bread into cubes like for croutons.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the bread. Sauté until it becomes crispy.
  3. Add chopped deli meat or sausage and fry.
  4. Add finely chopped onion, minced garlic, corn, and chopped tomato and continue to sauté.
  5. Crack in the eggs, add grated cheese, salt, and pepper, and fry the whole mixture, stirring constantly with a spatula.

Transfer the ready dish onto plates. You can top it with homemade garlic sauce. You can add chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the scrambled eggs à la pizza. Enjoy!
