It is too late to make or get pizza for dinner but you want to treat your kids? A delicious and fast alternative is Pizzaiola scrambled eggs; it is a quick dinner fix with a pizza-ish (a new, cool word was just added to the English vocabulary) taste and the added bonus of eggs’ proteins.

Ingredients for three children or two adults:

4 large eggs

1 yellow onion thinly sliced

2 cups of canned Passata di Pomodoro (tomato puree)

an abundant pinch of dried oregano

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

What to do:

Pour the olive oil, tomato puree, the sliced onion, a hefty pinch of dried oregano and a pinch of salt into an anti-adherent pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

While the ingredients cook beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the eggs into the pan with the other ingredients scrambling everything together and cook to reach your desired density.

Serve your Pizzaiola scrambled eggs with, or on top of grilled or toasted slices of pane Toscano (Tuscan peasant bread), Italian Ciabatta, Sourdough bread, and it will almost feel like eating pizza Magherita. Add a simple side of salad and in no time you have a deliciously healthy and complete meal on your table.

ENJOY!
