The Case of Putting Expensive Eggs on Cheap Pizza
Eggs are expensive now. I know it. You know it. Ellie knows this . But they still cost less than many other things. Whatever the case, I can still find regular eggs at Fred Meyer, a Kroger chain, for less than $3 a dozen. (There is a limit to how much you can buy at a time, but it’s still very cheap). I’m not going to give up eggs, that’s what I’m saying; not when they are one of the easiest ways to make cheap convenience foods look like food.
I like to boil them in a bowl of instant miso soup for a warm and hearty breakfast, but I don’t mind breaking one up on a cheap frozen pizza – and I mean really cheap; Totino is cheap because it ‘s delicious . Egg yolk is the perfect sauce for very salty, processed foods. It’s rich yet feels nutritious at the same time, probably due to all the B vitamins.
Eggs and pizza are cheap food
An expensive egg on a cheap pizza is a satisfying and economical meal, even at these egg prices. Even if you shelled out $10 for organic eggs and cracked two of them on a Totino pizza, you’d still only pay a little over $3 for the meal. Not too shabby. And you obviously don’t have to get Totino’s – use whatever frozen pizza you choose.
You may need to play with the timing. In my experience, my 450 degree oven takes at least seven minutes to cook an egg white and runny yolk. I know I like my pizza with a crispy crust, so I let it go through at least half of the 15 minute cooking time before adding the eggs. If you get the timing mixed up and your pizza looks like it’s going to burn before the egg sets, just turn on the fryer for a minute or two. Finish off with a hot sauce and wash it down with a Diet Coke for the perfect brunch.
