Egg Pizza





My daughter was after me to make a pizza and i didn't have any vegetables that can be used on the pizza as topping. Then i thought why cant i innovate something. Had some eggs and thought to make a pizza with an Indian touch.

I used an instant homemade pizza base, as i had no time to prepare a traditional one using yeast. For a healthier version of pizza base, check this link - Healthy pan pizza base.



 I made this pizza on stove top. You can even try it in the oven. Both the method is mentioned below. Choose your's.... 

 



Ingredients

1 Pizza base
Pizza Sauce  as required
Mozzarella Cheese as required
Oregano as required
Red chilli flakes as required


For topping

1 tsp Jeera
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 Onion (medium, finely chopped)
1 Tomato (medium, chopped)
2 Eggs (whisked)
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Black pepper powder
1 tsp Coriander powder


Method
  • First, prepare the topping. Heat oil in a pan, Add mustard seeds and jeera.
  • When it splutters, add onion. Saute till onion changes its colour. 
  • Now add tomato. Saute for sometime.
  • Add black pepper powder and coriander powder. Mix well.
  • Let it simmer for 1 minute. Now add the whisked eggs and adjust the salt.
  • Mix well and when the eggs are cooked, take off from heat and let it cool.

Pan Method


  • Roll the dough to the size of the pan and transfer it to a non stick pan.
  • Poke the pizza base which is spread on the pan with a fork here and there. 
  • Spread some homemade pizza sauce on the pizza base. Over that spread little shredded mozzarella cheese. 
  • On top of that, spread the egg mixture that we have kept aside to cool. Again spread the shredded cheese on top of it. 
  • Heat the pan for 2 minutes. Now, cover and keep the pan on top of a heated tawa on medium heat till the pizza base is cooked and the cheese is melted. 
  • Remove the pizza once it is done and sprinkle the chilli flakes and oregano powder. Serve hot.

Oven Method:

  • Roll the dough in the required size and place it on a greased baking tray.
  • Preheat the oven in convection mode at 180 degree Celsius.
  • Poke the pizza base which is spread on the tray with a fork here and there. 
  • Spread some homemade pizza sauce on the pizza base. Over that spread little shredded mozzarella cheese. 
  • On top of that, spread the egg mixture that we have kept aside to cool. Again spread the shredded cheese on top of it.
  • Place it on the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or till the pizza base is cooked and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the pizza once it is done and sprinkle the chilli flakes and oregano powder. Serve hot.
