Eggs Schiacciata

This recipe is nice way to feed a lot of people breakfast while at the same time flashing your gourmet flare. Begin by making Italian Schiacciata, which is a flat potato bread that takes about an hour but you can make it in advance. Once the bread is baked and slightly cooled, use a circle mold to cut out 3 inch disks.

To start breakfast, warm the bread, I do it on a grill but you can use a microwave. Heat up egg toppings, like ham and vegetables. Then using a circle molds, fry eggs; I light stir one egg per disk but you can leave the whole if you want the extra flare of a running yolk.

  • 1 egg
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
