When you combine all the amazing flavours of Pizza Pepperoni with the convenience of Quick Skillet Frittata, you end up with a delicious keto breakfast meal! Since this is an all-time favourite in my house, I decided to make a quick video recipe to show you how easy it is to follow a healthy ketogenic diet. I realised that one slice was enough to fill me up for hours - you can have two if you're really hungry :-)

Ingredients (makes 2-4 servings)
Base:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar-free Marinara sauce (80 g/ 2.8 oz)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
- 1/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese (40 g/ 1.3 oz)
- 1 tbsp ghee or lard
- 3 oz pepperoni, chopped (85 g)
- 1 small white onion, diced (35 g/ 1.2 oz)
- 1 small red bell pepper, sliced (75 g/ 2.6 oz)
Topping:
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (22 g/ 0.8 oz)
- 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese (28 g/ 1 oz)
- 1 oz whole pepperoni slices (28 g)
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Crack the eggs in a bowl and beat. Add the marinara sauce, oregano, grated Parmesan and grated mozzarella cheese.
- Grease a pan with ghee and add the chopped pepperoni. Cook over a medium-high heat for a few minutes to release the juices and crisp it up.
- Add diced onion and cook for a few minutes. Add sliced red bell pepper and cook until crisp-tender.
- Pour in the egg mixture and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook until the top starts to firm up and the edges are turning opaque (8-10 minutes).
- Then top with the remaining cheese and pepperoni slices. Place under a broiler for 5-7 minutes to crisp up.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool down. Top with fresh basil just before serving.
- Slice and enjoy! One slice is great as a light meal, 2 slices as a full meal. Optionally, serve with some crispy greens or pickles.
