Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Tomato sauce: 1 cup (your favorite marinara or homemade)
  • Eggs: 4 large, fresh
  • Italian seasoning: 1 teaspoon (oregano, basil blend)
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
  • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon, for greasing and browning

Cheese

  • Shredded cheese: 1 to 1 1/2 cups (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)

Toppings (Customize as desired)

  • Diced bell peppers: 1/2 cup
  • Sliced mushrooms: 1/2 cup
  • Pepperoni slices: 1/2 cup (optional)
  • Olives (sliced): 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare your baking dish: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking and help the top brown nicely.
  2. Mix the base: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to form the binding base.
  3. Add sauce and toppings: Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce evenly over the bottom of the greased dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, followed by evenly distributing your chosen toppings across the surface.
  4. Pour the egg mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the sauce, cheese, and toppings, ensuring it covers everything evenly to bind the ingredients during baking.
  5. Bake until golden: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set, the cheese is bubbling, and the edges turn a light golden color.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the crustless pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares to help it firm up and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for better structure and a fluffier texture of the crustless base.
  • Season the egg mixture well to significantly elevate the flavor.
  • Distribute toppings evenly for uniform cooking and balanced flavor in every slice.
  • Choose a ceramic or well-greased non-stick pan for easy slicing and to prevent sticking.
  • Let the pizza rest briefly after baking to set and avoid crumbling when cut.
