Ingredients

For the base

3 pieces eggs Creamy and delicious, serving as the canvas for all your toppings.

For the toppings

6 tbsp marinara This savory sauce infuses the dish with Italian character and a delightful tang.
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded or torn) Melts beautifully, providing that satisfying stretch and creamy goodness.

Method

Preparation

Melt the Butter: Begin by melting the butter over medium heat in a nonstick skillet until it becomes bubbly and fragrant.
Cook the Eggs: Carefully break the three eggs into the skillet. Allow them to sit for a few seconds until the whites start to turn opaque.
Add the Marinara: Spoon marinara sauce gently between the egg yolks, allowing the flavor to seep into the eggs.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the eggs, then cover the skillet with a lid for a few minutes.
Layer with Pepperoni: Once the cheese has melted, layer the pepperoni slices on top, placing the skillet under the broiler for an extra crispy texture if desired.
Season and Serve: Add a pinch of salt and pepper, along with the sliced fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh eggs and quality marinara for the best flavor. Feel free to customize with other toppings like bell peppers or olives.
