Ingredients
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 ounce / 28g mozzarella cheese, chopped into small cubes
• 6 slices turkey pepperoni, halved
• 4-5 grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 6-8 black olives, thinly sliced
• ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon all-purpose seasoning (like Spike)
Instructions
1. Directions
2. Position an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. In a small bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and uniform.
3. Heat the olive oil in a small, 8-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and sprinkle with oregano and all-purpose seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the edges to set.
4. Scatter the mozzarella, olives, pepperoni, and tomatoes evenly over the top of the eggs. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook for 4 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top.
5. Uncover the skillet and transfer it directly under the preheated broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is bubbly and the top is beautifully browned. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips
• for the Perfect Pizza Omelet
• Use a well-seasoned cast iron or non-stick oven-safe skillet to prevent sticking and ensure an easy transfer from the stovetop to the broiler.
• Don’t overcook the eggs on the stove. The center should still be slightly jiggly before it goes under the broiler to ensure a tender, fluffy result.
• Feel free to customize your ‘pizza’ with other low-moisture toppings like sautéed mushrooms, diced bell peppers, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
• No broiler? After adding toppings in step 3, simply keep the skillet covered on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked through.
