Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
1️⃣ Beat the Eggs
In a small bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, and salt until fully combined and slightly frothy.
2️⃣ Warm Pan + Prep Pizza 🍕
Heat an 8-inch pan over low heat (pre-warming helps eggs cook evenly).
While pan warms, chop pizza into small ⅓-inch pieces (1 slice ≈ ⅔ cup chopped).
Warm chopped pizza in the microwave for about 25 seconds so it’s not cold in the eggs.
3️⃣ Scramble the Eggs 🥚
Add butter to the warm pan and let it melt.
Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.
Using a silicone spatula, gently push eggs from the edges toward the center as they cook.
4️⃣ Add the Pizza & Finish
Add the warm pizza pieces to the eggs.
Continue gently folding until eggs are set to your preferred texture (soft and fluffy is best).
Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy 😋
Divide between two plates and serve right away.
Pro Tips
- For fluffier eggs: Keep heat low and stir gently (no rushing!).
- Thin crust vs pan: Thin crust adds more texture; pan crust makes it softer.
- Extra cheesy: Add a sprinkle of mozzarella during the last 30 seconds.
- Budget stretch: Add more eggs and one more slice of pizza to feed 3–4.
