This simple and quick recipe will bring a flavorful pizza to your table in just a few minutes. Inspired by a talented friend, Cristina, this recipe will make your dinner easier and turn your evening into a true culinary celebration.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 4 minutes
Total time: 14 minutes
Number of servings: 4 pizzas

Ingredients needed for 4 pizzas:
- 5 fresh eggs
- 200 ml milk
- Flour – enough to create a batter slightly thicker than sour cream
- Pitted olives, sliced
- Salami or pressed ham, diced
- Leek or green onion, sliced
- Bell pepper, julienned
- Grated cheese, for topping
- A pinch of salt

Preparing the pancake-style pizza:

1. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the 5 eggs together with a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to incorporate air into the mixture. Continuing to beat until the eggs double in volume is essential for achieving a light and fluffy texture.

2. Add dry and wet ingredients: Begin to gradually add the flour, alternating with the milk. It’s important to add the flour slowly to avoid lumps. Mix with a spatula or whisk until you achieve a smooth composition, slightly thicker than sour cream.

3. Incorporate flavorful ingredients: Add the olives, diced salami or ham, leek rings, and julienned bell pepper into the egg mixture. Gently mix in a circular motion from the bottom up to preserve the air in the eggs.

4. Heat the pan: In a non-stick pan, add a drop of oil and heat it over medium heat. It’s important for the pan to be well-heated but not so much that the oil smokes.

5. Pour the mixture: Using a ladle, pour the mixture into the pan. Rotate the pan to evenly distribute the batter across the surface. This step is similar to making pancakes and is essential for achieving an even base.

6. Cook the pizza: Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 2 minutes on low heat. After this interval, flip the pizza to the other side and let it cook for another 2 minutes.

7. Add the topping: Remove the pizza onto a flat plate and sprinkle grated cheese on top, which will melt slightly due to the residual heat.

8. Serve hot: Pancake-style pizza is delicious when served hot, alongside ketchup, or for a special touch, try a garlic yogurt sauce or spicy pepper sauce.

Useful tips:
- If you want to experiment, you can add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini, or you can replace the salami with chicken or turkey.
- Make sure to use pitted olives to avoid unpleasant surprises.
- This recipe is extremely versatile – you can adjust the ingredients based on personal preferences or what you have on hand in the fridge.

Nutrition and calories:
This pancake-style pizza is an excellent choice for a quick meal, offering a balanced intake of protein from the eggs and salami, carbohydrates from the flour, and healthy fats from the oil used. Each serving has about 350 calories, depending on the added ingredients and the amount of grated cheese used.

Personal story:
I remember the first time I made this pancake-style pizza for my friends. It was a Friday night, and I wanted to surprise them with something quick but tasty. Everyone was delighted, and the recipe quickly became a favorite in our friend circle. Since then, I often make it, whether it’s for a quick dinner or a party with friends.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can it be made without meat? Absolutely! You can add only vegetables or simply leave the recipe vegetarian.
- Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, whole wheat flour will give a different texture but will make the pizza healthier.
- How can I store leftover pizza? If you have leftover pizza, you can keep it in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in a pan to regain its crispy texture.

This pancake-style pizza is not only easy to make but also a great way to bring a touch of creativity to your kitchen. Enjoy every bite and don’t forget to experiment with your favorite ingredients! Bon appétit!
