The Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, whisked

  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce

  • 3 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 4 oz sliced pepperoni

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes

  • 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven. Preheat to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Start cooking the eggs. Pour the whisked eggs into an oven-safe skillet, such as an 8-inch cast-iron pan. Bake for about 7 minutes, until the eggs are partially set but still slightly runny.

  3. Add the pizza toppings. Remove the skillet from the oven and spread the marinara sauce over the eggs. Sprinkle with mozzarella and arrange the pepperoni evenly on top.

  4. Finish baking. Return the skillet to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted.

  5. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with chili flakes and fresh basil. Slice into portions and enjoy warm.

Easy Ways to Customize Your Frittata

Add more vegetables: Sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives make delicious pizza-inspired additions.

Adjust the spice: Add extra chili flakes for a little heat, or leave them out for a milder flavor.

Switch up the toppings: Try cooked Italian sausage, diced ham, or another favorite pizza topping.

Storage Tips

Store leftover frittata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
