Notes
For extra flavor, consider using a flavored marinara sauce. Swap out mozzarella for a low-fat cheese option to lighten it up while maintaining flavor. Cook with a non-stick skillet to help with easy cleanup. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Store cooked Pizza Eggs in an airtight container for up to 3 days for quick reheating.
